A Letter to My Cancer:
It may seem like you have control in my life right now,
but you really don't.
Your presence only makes me stronger, braver,
kinder, wiser.
I choose how I think what I speak and how I love.
You will never be able to touch those things.
Never.
The fear of your name no longer haunts my soul
because I know that my soul belongs to me and to God.
You may take your claim on this frail outer shell
but never on my divine spirit that cried out
"I am not my body".
My soul will run, leap and tower over your attempts
to pull me down into despair.
Those who surround me will fight with me
to let it be known that we will not surrender.
Our hearts and souls are tied together in a lasting bond
that no amount of your impeding growth can break.
You see cancer, you do NOT own me.
I own myself.
And I will survive.

Nicely picked details, many thanks to the author. It’s incomprehensive in my experience at present, however in common, the convenience and importance is mind-boggling. Regards and all the best .. https://asbestoscancer.org/stage-four-mesothelioma/
