I'm a survivor
I thought it was God punishing me
I thought “how could this be
I asked why
I felt that someone had lied
I’m not sure if my will is strong
I swear I’m barely holding on
Me and my husband embrace
First time I ever seen tears roll down his face
I’m scared, he tells me
Holds my hand a says “prayer compels me”
“Together we shall pull through”
“We will beat this thing together…me and you”
He means well I know
He fights back, but his pain for me shows
How do I tell our son
Tell me where would these words come from
Mommies not well and hurting
With an outcome uncertain
I am scared that I wont beat this
I’m wondering how will I ever defeat this
I’m wearing wigs and refusing to go outside
I swear I rather die
I look in the mirror, missing the old me
My husband and my son come in and hold me
Will it come back? Will it ever stay away
we pray
Now they got pink ribbons with my name
Telling my story about how I overcame
I’m a survivor!

Morris-
So very, very touching, a year ago October 5, I lost one of my best friends with breast cancer, she had a 11year old and an 18yr old, husband left behind.
It's insane, Cancer is horrible, I worked in a Cancer Center for two years, it wasn't easy seeing people suffer, and not able to do much of anything to help.
Thanks for writing so intense and so meaningful!
Nancy
Nancy- It's never easy losing a friend to any form of cancer, Disease or death period. I know a couple of women who have survived breast cancer and hearing their stories are always amazing. the strength and their will!
Beautiful and touching write. Â The first time I lost someone to cancer I was in high school she died before we graduated...she was to have been the valedictorian. Â Since then I have had to witness this horrific ravaging of the body twice more. Â It never gets easier. Â val
Valerie_ thank you so much... it never is easy and my heart goes out to anyone who has to go through it.
