14 LOST HOPE

I don't know what to do, I don't know where to start they've told me I've got cancer and it's torn my world apart they told me they could treat it, but they had to operate I asked them "what's my chances" they said "that's down to fate" I had to tell my husband, which really didn't bode to well he'd already been through so much, this news would seem like hell he said, "please don't leave me, you are my life, my wife, my soul" "don't worry darling, I'll be back" I'll be there when you call I had to get my act together, I wanted to stay strong to leave my husband all alone, to me that just seemed wrong so I made myself a promise, that I would return back home no matter what the outcome, he would not be on his own well, I survived the cancer treatment, and that's a big relief but then my husband had an episode, that shocked us beyond belief they took him to the hospital, they told him, there's no doubt you've got a major blockage, and we've got to take it out they said once they'd cut him open, they found to their dismay my husband, he'd got cancer, it's one we could not take away my world just collapsed around me, I'd no more strength to give especially when they told me, he'd only three months left to live.
