What Cancer has taught me.....

What Cancer has taught me……
Cancer – the other bad “C” word
Cancer – The quickest way to learn who your real friends are
Cancer – the test of marriage and parenting that no book can guide you on
Cancer – a word that makes people turn away from you as if they may catch it if they look at you or touch you
Cancer – the loneliest word, the loneliest place, the loneliest existence
Cancer – the thief of mind, body, soul and hair
Cancer – the taker of appetite and strength
Cancer – the new reality of your life
Cancer – Who the hell decided that should be a zodiac sign??
Cancer – no hair, no eyebrows, scarves, wigs, no hair gel, no hair dryers or hairspray… people stare or look away so fast you’d think they’d get whiplash!
Cancer – No bad hair days
Cancer – NO HAIR DAYS!
Cancer – always cold, followed by hot flashes
Cancer – OH MY G-D I have cancer { whisper it }
Cancer – a test of friendship and faith
Cancer – quick showers, no shaving required
Cancer – a weight loss program that is too easy
Cancer – a drug for nausea, a drug for pain, a drug for aches, a drug for radiation burns, a drug for this, a drug for that…a Pharmacy’s Dream Patient
Cancer – an end to life as you knew it
Cancer – the beginning of a new and different life
