Oh Lord, Oh Lord, Oh LordIs this my time?

Can this be my time?

Why now? Cancer… Cancer… Cancer…

Colon cancer is something else.

What is worse… The cancer itself the surgery,

the treatment?

Lord, is this my time?

Chemo…ohhh, there is nothing like it;

Chemo takes you to the very bottom of nothing;

You struggle to come back;

Am I back?

Lord. is this my time?

Yet without chemo I, most likely, will not exist.

With chemo, I am still here for a little while longer.

I guess I am back.

What if I did nothing?What if I had ignored the facts?

What if I had ignored the early signs?

Well Lord, here I am.

Thanking you for helping me to know.

Early detection and treatment…essential for us all.

My time is not yet.

Oh Lord, Oh Lord, Oh Lord.

Wheeeeeew…but I Am Blessed 

It’s 30 years ago…

Minding my own business;

Doing my job for 12 ½ years;

What is this lump near my collar bone?

Getting bigger…

Maybe I better check this out.

I do just that.

Biopsy done.

Remove the lump and breast;

It was cancer.

Eight months later, the other side too.

‘What do you want done,’ the doctor asks?

‘Remove it…make both sides even.’

Doc advised me to stay out of the sun.

Got some fluid in my arm, but things could be worse.

Early detection helped…with a lot of prayer.

I feel good…I am blessed

The cancer is not all…

A kidney removed…Appendix erupted…High Blood Pressure…

Diabetes…Heart Surgery…Stroke…Arthritis.

And….an abusive husband…that’s a whole other story.

 I am 81 years old…feel good most of the time.

I try not to complain.

Take it to Him and leave it there;

          Thank God for caring about me;

                   I don’t worry about nothing;

                             Would not trade the Lord for anything…I am blessed.

Who Would Have Thought 

Who would have thought…not me;

Been healthy all my life,

We were all fairly long livers;

Mom lived to be 86...Dad lived to be 63.

Nobody else that I know of in my family had had breast cancer;

So…who would have thought.

Who would have thought that my daughter would have it.

Where did she get it?

Nobody else had it.

Why didn’t she tell me…or anybody?

That made me angry that she did not tell me until it was too late.

I found out by accident. 

I had always had annual visits to the doctor.

She was just afraid. 

Early detection and treatment was not her way…

She was just afraid.

Her fear resulted in early death.

Who would of thought that I would have breast cancer 10 years later;

Did chemo, radiation and all that;

Go in defeated and you will be defeated;

Go in with God and it will be alright;Need I remind you again …

Early detection and treatment is critical;

Whups! Here it comes again!!! Maybe not…radiation to be sure;

“Do what you have to do, Doc, because I am going on a trip…

Got my ticket all paid for…

Let’s get on with it.”

Had a wonderful trip…

Feeling pretty good…

He never puts more on you than you can bare…and…

Early detection and treatment is critical in the fight against any kind of cancer.
