Cancer, No Such Animal

Animals remarkably deal with life and death situations.
They seem to have this unique ability to quickly move on,
and perhaps we could all learn a lesson from them.
When you get down to it, you only really have two options.
You can medically and emotionally surrender to your cancer problem,
or like an animal, you fight like hell and continue surviving.
Cancer is just a word, it isn't a sentence.
In your battle keep telling yourself this over and over again.
Never Give Up! Never Stop Fighting!
Look at cancer as your prey and not you as cancer's victim,
and before you know it you'll bring cancer to its well deserved end.
