Recent Dear Cancer Messages (What do you have to say to cancer? Let it out.)

• Dear Cancer, You are a sneaky killer who takes loved ones too soon. When you implanted yourself in me you woke me. The doctor removed you, the chemo made me an inhospitable host. But now I am on the look out for your possible return. Be warned, you will encounter the same treatment. So, do us both a favor, just stay away. But thanks for the lesson in mortality and to appreciate each day. I only need to learn this lesson once. Click here to comment. 
• Todays a great day. The Dr told me I'm cured of cancer, I feel very, very lucky. Please help others with their fight in any way you can. I beat you cancer, now you've left me, leave everyone else!!! Click here to comment. 

Recent Facebook post (Don't forget to Like us on FB!) 

• Dear Cancer, I want to break up. It's not me, it's you. You keep wanting to get back together and for whatever reason, my body lets you. Well I'm done, I'm sick of all the game playing and I'm sick of you messing with my mind. I wish I could say that my relationship with you has made me stronger, braver, more courageous, but I just don't know anymore. Now that you're trying to get back together only bad feelings come up. You have made me more insecure about myself, you've made me sad, and I have shed too many tears because of you. You not only affect me, you have widespread effects on people I love and care about. They don't even know what to say anymore; you leave a train of destruction and pain. It may surprise you but I love my life, and yes, thank you for opening my eyes and my heart constantly to the blessings around me. Are you trying to teach me something? Is there a lesson to learn? Well I got it, I'm good, so please stop showing up. Don't underestimate me, I am not going down. So here we are at another crossroads. Are you back to taunt me again? Will you ever leave me alone? Hate is a strong word that I never use, but I'm beginning to hate you. You have broken my heart over and over, but I will not let you break my spirit. Anna Click here to comment.
