CANCER IS SUCH A STRONG ILLNESS. TO SEE PEOPLE OVERCOME IT IS SUCH FULFILLNESS. CANCER MAKES YOUR WHOLE LIFE CHANGE. CANCER CAN MAKE YOU GO THROUGH LIFE AND REARANGE. YOU FEEL PAIN, YOU FEEL LUMPS. YOU GO THROUGH LIFE FIGHTING TO OVERCOME THOSE HUMPS. YOU START TO RESEARCH LOOKING FOR ANSWERS. YOU STOP TO ASK GOD WHY OF ALL THINGS CANCER. DEALING WITH THE HAND YOU'VE BEEN DEALT. NOW REALLY KNOWING HOW YOU FELT. DOING CANCER WALKS. BEING MORE OPEN FOR TALKS. TAKING TIME TO MAKE THE PUBLIC AWARE. KNOWING WHAT WE KNOW LIFE ISN'T FAIR. WE JUST CAN'T SIT BACK AND STARE. WE MUST GO OUT AND SHARE. CAUSE EVERYBODY NEEDS TO KNOW THAT WE CARE. YOU START YOUR TREATMENT KNOWING IT'LL BE A STRUGGLE. WHEN YOU GO HOME YOU JUST WANT TO SNUGGLE. YOU START BEING MORE ACTIVE, LOSING HAIR BUT STILL ATTRACTIVE. COLORFUL WIGS, PEOPLE STILL DIGS. CANCER IS ROUGH, IT MAKES YOU TOUGH. IT TAKES COURAGE, NOT TO BE DISCOURAGED. YOU FIGHT THE FIGHT EACH MORNING AND DAY. YOU FIGHT THE FIGHT TO SURVIVE AND LIVE ANOTHER WAY. WHEN YOU'VE DONE ALL YOU CAN DO AND HAVE BEEN CALLED HOME. JUST KNOW THAT WIN, LOSE OR DRAW YOU'RE A HERO BECAUSE YOU FOUGHT FIGHT AND NEVER GAVE UP. CANCER IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE AROUND, JUST KNOW SOMETIMES CANCER DOES GET KNOCKED DOWN.
