Karma is simply a law of cause and effect. And it has not much to do with hard reality of shit just happening. Or, rather, it does, but not on levels practically applicable to everyday struggle of somebody dealing with reality of cancer.... It is good for existential musings, for meditation, etc. But the reality is always a combination of our own deeds and that shit just happening. I prefer not to dwell on past life origins of shit, I prefer dealing with it constructively, ridding of it if possible, and then musing on karmic meaning of it, after it cleaned up....and learning lessons from cleaning it on how not to let it happen again.... karmic musings are sort of difficult when you are deep in it
