I am probably way behing in posting this since seen bracelets, rings, and necklaces with this but for those of you newly touched by Cancer like our family, once again, I found this particularly comforting. It could cross over to many crisis issues.

"WHAT CANCER CAN NOT DO....

It cannot invade the soul,
Suppress memories,
Kill true friendships,
Destroy peace,
Conquer the spirit,
Shatter hope,
Cripple love,
Corrode faith,
Steal eternal life,
Silence courage."

I love this. We had it posted multiple places around the cancer center I worked at. One of the patients has a saying: cancer sucks, life is good, choose joy!

Thank you PacificStar. I actually wrote a poem called 'The Malignant Cell' (it's posted in the poetry forum) which is along similar lines. I was going through a period of insomnia and got up and wrote down my thoughts at the time.

I wish you strength with whatever you're having to deal with.

We have this on our fridge. My father passed Last DEC 21st from stage 4 melanoma, my uncle passed two months ago, except he went in for what he thought was appendicitis and was cancer, We lost him within only a few weeks. I pray for anyone who has cancer or has a family member with it. I sat with my dad every day his last few months when things got really underway. if anyone has any questions I would be glad to lend my advice or knowledge. When my dad was dying, I was very confused about the whole process and what steps were taking place as he faded away one day at a time. Slowly he was changing and it didnt even feel like he had cancer at first, he was such a fighter until the very end. Even then we knew he was struggling not to let go.

Amazing post:heart:

It can not, will not and most Diffently did not take
my Grace, My Light and my Voice.....

It did however provide me with the dignity and
the ability to dance in the silence of the moon

Life is awesome .. Life is good

I found the me in me ... Cancer provided me that

:heart:

Love & light to all who suffer or have suffered
this ugly ... ugly monster
