CANCER THOUGHTS

I SIT IN A ROOM WITH DIFFERENT PEOPLE EVERY WEEK.

EACH WEEK WE ASK " HOW ARE YOU" AND EACH ANSWER FINE

FAR FROM FINE WE DO THE BSET WE CAN WHILE HAVING SYMPTONS AND SIDE AFFECT S

TRYING TO FOCUS ON THE FACT WE ARE FINE

THOUGH THE BRILLIANT EFFOCTS OF OUR DOCTORS, WE GO EACH WEEK OR WHATEVER

SCHEDULE AND HAVE OUR BODIES POKED.

ONLY FILLED WITH POISON TO KILL THE CANCER

MIRACLE/POISION KEEPS US GOING IN THE STATE LESS THAN BEFORE BUT ALIVE

NO HAIR.....................NO ENERGY......................................

YET WE DO OUR BEST TO KEEP OUR LIVES INTACT AND OUR SPIRTS POSITIVE.

PEOPLE SAY YOU "YOU LOOK SO WELL"

MUCH TO THEIR SURPRISE ONE WOULD ONLY WISH TO FEEL AS GOOD AS OTHERS SAY YOU LOOK.

WE HAVE FAITH ....................

WE SUSPEND THE RALITY OF OUR CURRENT SITUATIONS.

SEEKING HAPPINESS AND LOVE OF FAMILY & FRIENDS DAY BY DAY

WE HAVE HOPE............

SOMEDAY A CURE......

WE WONDER IF IT WILL BE IN TIME FOR US.
