Suddenly, my cancer was a cancer that was everywhere, the cancer of cruelty, the cancer of greed, the cancer that gets inside people who live down the streets from chemical plants -- and they're usually poor -- the cancer inside the coal miner's lungs, the cancer of stress for not achieving enough, the cancer of buried trauma, the cancer in caged chickens and polluted fish, the cancer in women's uteruses from being raped, the cancer that is everywhere from our carelessness.
Odjednom, moj rak je bio rak koji se nalazio posvuda, rak okrutnosti, rak pohlepe, rak koji ulazi unutar ljudi koji žive blizu kemijskih tvornica -- i obično su prilično siromašni -- rak unutar rudarevih pluća, rak zbog stresa jer nismo dovoljno postigli, rak zbog pokopanih trauma, rak u zatvorenim kokošima i zagađenim ribama, rak u ženskim maternicama zbog zlostavljanja, rak koji je posvuda zbog našeg nemara.
