CANCER PATIENCE – WAITING LISTS - SURVIVAL RATES INCREASE

Nobody should have to wait to find out if they have Cancer or not. All waiting achieves is to increase the chance of the cancer spreading and the expense of the treatment. Waiting lists for Cancer needs to be exterminated – it makes no sense. Read an Article from The Daily Telegraph about the success of treating Lung Cancer when caught early. The UK Cancer survival Rate is the lowest in Europe? is it because the medical profession has learnt that catching and diagnosing Cancer is the best and perhaps most effective way of Cancer Treatment. Chemotherapy and all forms of Cancer Treatment are more effective when an early detection is made.

I WAIT FOR CANCER
I wait,
For Cancer,
I debate
With Cancer,
I stare
At Cancer,
I wait,
For Cancer.

I stand up,
To Cancer,
Cancer Patience,
Cancer anger,
I wait for Cancer,
I stare at Cancer.

Poems of Hope - Look To this Day

Look to this day -

For it is life, the very life of life.

In its brief course

Lie all the verities and realities of your existence.

The bliss of growth,

The glory of action,

The splendour of achievement

Are but experiences of time.

For yesterday is but a dream

And tomorrow is only a vision;

And today well-lived, makes

Yesterday a dream of happiness

And every tomorrow a vision of hope.

Look well therefore to this day;

Such is the salutation to the ever-new dawn!

CANCER IS THE ENEMY-CANCER IS NO FRIEND - WRITINGS ON CANCER

One has often heard the term Melanoma, especially since John Mcain ran for president and the issue of Skin Cancer and Melanoma kept cropping up. John McCain is a survivor of many things and one is Melanoma, a form of cancer that begins with Melanocytes(Cell that make pigment Melanin). It sometimes, but not always begins as a Mole – skin Melanoma – but can also start in other pigmented areas. There are over 60,000 new cases of Melanoma each year in the USA - with about 8,400 deaths. Melanoma is a very aggressive form of skin Cancer – for more information please go to the Melanoma Information Page of the National Cancer Institute.

Cancer is the enemy,
Cancer is no friend,
Cancer, Cancer smiles at me,
But it really wants my end,

Cancer came behind my back,
Reminding my of life,
Cancer is my enemy,
It fills my days with strife,

Cancer has to be annulled,
Cancer always lies.
Cancer, Cancer – stay away,
Your existence needs to die.

As the Heart Hopes by Lucy Maud Montgomery

It is a year dear one, since you afar
Went out beyond my yearning mortal sight¬
A wondrous year! perchance in many a star
You have sojourned, or basked within the light
Of mightier suns; it may be you have trod
The glittering pathways of the Pleiades,
And through the Milky Way's white mysteries
Have walked at will, fire-shod.

You may have gazed in the immortal eyes
Of prophets and of martyrs; talked with seers
Learned in all the lore of Paradise,
The infinite wisdom of eternal years;
To you the Sons of Morning may have sung,
The impassioned strophes of their matin hymn,
For you the choirs of the seraphim
Their harpings wild out-flung.

Oh, They have Robbed Me of The Hope by Anne Bronte

Oh, they have robbed me of the hope
My spirit held so dear;
They will not let me hear that voice
My soul delights to hear.
They will not let me see that face
I so delight to see;
And they have taken all thy smiles,
And all thy love from me.

Well, let them seize on all they can: --
One treasure still is mine, --
A heart that loves to think on thee,
And feels the worth of thine.

CANCER POEMS - RESULTS AND ROSES

Results and Roses - Poet: Edgar Guest

The man who wants a garden fair,
Or small or very big,
With flowers growing here and there,
Must bend his back and dig.

The things are mighty few on earth
That wishes can attain.
Whate'er we want of any worth
We've got to work to gain.

It matters not what goal you seek
Its secret here reposes:
You've got to dig from week to week
To get Results or Roses.

THE LAKE ISLE OF INNISFREE

This is a poem that transcends hope and peace. W.B.Yeats was one of the greatest poets of all time, and his poems bring nothing but hope.

I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made:
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honeybee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet's wings.

I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart's core.

CANCER POEMS - DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE AND WEEP

Did you know there is massive support available for those suffering or recovering from Breast Cancer.

Breastcancer.org is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing the most reliable, complete, and up-to-date information about breast cancer.

Our mission is to help women and their loved ones make sense of the complex medical and personal information about breast cancer, so they can make the best decisions for their lives.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there. I do not die.

DAFFODILS WITH INFORMATION ON BREAST CANCER

I love this poem, it always gives me a sense of ease.

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced, but they
Out-did the sparkling leaves in glee;
A poet could not be but gay,
In such a jocund company!
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

CANCER POETRY
I was sitting beside you bed,
For days on end,
Watching you fade away,
To another place and time,
Where we will be separated,
Possibly forever,
And I will never talk to you again,
Or make cheesecake with you,
The fire is going out,
Every moment could be the last,
There is a dark sky outside,
No lights in or out,
I chat with Cancer,
As I drink a sour cup of coffee,
I dream about my childhood,
I wish I could have you back,
But you are never coming back,
And now I must move forward in love,
Because it was you who gave me life.

CANCER MAKES ME MAD - HOSPITALS MAKE ME SICK

If I see another ward.
It will make me sick.

If I see another Doctor,
It will make me sicker.

If I see another hospital dinner,
It will make me hungry.

If I feel another needle,
It will make me mad,

Cancer makes me mad,
Hospitals make me sicker.

If I don’t see home soon,
I might never see it.

I AM STRONG ENOUGH TO BE WELL ENOUGH

The morning catapults me to fear,
But I am strong,
Strong enough to be well enough,
To see enough-to heal enough,
The morning knows me better than the night,
The stars have watched as I fight the pain,
But I am strong,
Strong enough to be well enough,
To see enough-to heal enough.

THIS SURVIVORS TUNNEL OF CANCER

I am in Darkness,
And the world has forgotten who I am,
But my God - who I have turned to time and again,
Will never forget me,
The Chemotherapy is warming my veins,
My hair is almost gone,
There is light somewhere down this tunnel of cancer,
Where the darkness of cancerous thoughts does not exist
There I will have no more suffering,
I will be at peace,
I will be at peace.
