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 CANNOT CONTROL ME - NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE INFORMATION

Cancer cannot control me,
Cancer cannot kill me,
Cancer will not take me from my loved ones.
I am stronger than Cancer.

It has no right to make me Sad,
It has no right to make me cry
Cancer cannot control me,
I am stronger than Cancer.

I am made of flesh and bones,
I am God’s and God’s alone,
Cancer cannot call me home.
I am stronger than Cancer.

CANCER INFO FROM THE NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE

BLADDER CANCER
Cancer that forms in tissues of the bladder (the organ that stores urine). Most bladder cancers are transitional cell carcinomas (cancer that begins in cells that normally make up the inner lining of the bladder). Other types include squamous cell carcinoma (cancer that begins in thin, flat cells) and adenocarcinoma (cancer that begins in cells that make and release mucus and other fluids). The cells that form squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma develop in the inner lining of the bladder as a result of chronic irritation and inflammation.
