Here we go again. Hate going through all of this Cancer Limbo and Pain

2nd time over

Here we go again.
Hate going through all of this cancer limbo and pain

Here we go again,
It's the same cancer this time in my lungs,
Growing abnormally so.
As I’ve over a 100 others,
And not one of them have grown.
15 days being ill in Egypt.
15 days of no weed,
15 days for my cancers rebirth to try and spread to my brain.
I’m too strong though,
I’ll defeat anything,
No matter the strength of the forces against me,
Causing others grief,
Causing me pain.
I’ve been fighting for 20 years already,
I'm a cancer veteran.
For 20 years,
 we’ve been battling,
Hopefully not 20 years in vein.
But then i remember,
this is all part of my joker cards game.
I'm here on this earth,
To deliver my own message.
To give you a tale of will power,
That's led me on this path.
To tell you how it’s me,
Not my cancer,
That’ll be having the last and final laugh.
I’m determined to beat it once more.
Cleansing it from me,
Washing it down the plug hole in the bath.
I’ve still plenty of living left,
My cancer will never break me,
Or leave me split in half.
Bring on what you like,
As he who first brings the laughs,
With me?
Will always,
 Laugh last.

Being Me

James, I admire your fighting spirit no end. To go through 20 years of what must be a living nightmare is beyond belief...yet here you are, and writing your heart out.  Keep fighting, keep writing and keep winning. All the best for a recovery. You have stared this beast in the eye long enough...go kick its arse.   Hugs ? x

20 years and counting lol. And all down to cannabis. My new 3 tumours they found last October ive just found out 2 days ago it's the same cancer as I have. None of my tumours had grown since September last year then got really ill in Egypt being bed bound and without weed for 15 days. My cancer has stalled again now though as I started again when home. Just taken them a year to remove or do anything about them! The largest one was removed a month and a half ago. Still 2 in left lung that are causing me pain but I am a fighter as everyone says, just have to carry on my fight so I live till im at least 85. Is my joker cards cruel game! thank you for your comment qs qlwys xx
