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.

(I try not to ever bring it up because of that) I feel as though everyone thinks that the day chemo ended I should have "moved on" and should be "over it."
