Cancer I so wish you did not feature in so many aspects of life.
But somehow you do and we know an early diagnosis causes much less strife.
So now we must encourage others to always attend screening.
And to see a doctor with any change anyone is feeling.
We will fundraise to help pay for more cancer research.
We want less hearts to have a feeling of being left in the lurch.
We all know someone who has been through turmoil due to you.
In the future we hope this changes and you don’t even affect a few.
As once you are here you definitely seem to take hold.
Hearing that word forever makes us feel cold.
So we will do all that we can to ensure you stop affecting our lives.
And through advances in medical research we hope one day you reach your demise.
But in the meantime those of us with a diagnosis will do the best we can.
Having a positive mental attitude can be tough but is always a good plan.
