The Big C

When cancer cells come calling options are few and far between
One can blast them with radiation which is like fighting a fire with gasoline
One can surgically remove them, hoping no stragglers are left behind
In either case the risks are many, those boogers can be hard to find

One thing’s for sure the big C is tough, it’s not an easy foe to beat
Takes lots of resolve and energy to work toward its defeat
But if your attitude is positive and you’re willing to stay the path
There's a good chance you'll come out on top and have the final laugh

Good luck to all you cancer victims and survivors out there

A positive attitude goes a long way in the fight against cancer:-) it was my husband's cancer surgery in 2013 that prompted me to write my first poem:-) he is cured and I have a hobby I love and which has helped me through the worst 3 years of my life:-) hugs Jan xx
