The Constant Struggle, Living With the Ribbon

A fight between life and death;
 Each day could be the last in the fight against the disease.
 Carcinoma,Leukemia,Sarcoma; The three of Many classifications of the disease, and
 The signs don’t always appear soon enough.

  	Each day could be the last in the fight against the disease.
 The Three Cases: die in a blink of an eye, slowly die, or beat the disease;
 The signs don’t always appear soon enough.
 The feeling of slipping away each day even more than yesterday.

 	The Three Cases:  die in a blink of an eye, slowly die, or beat the disease.
The wish to beat the disease, and
The feeling of slipping away each day even more than yesterday.
The wait for the results; Is it gone or here to stay? Is this the last day?

	 The wish to beat the disease,
Carcinoma,Leukemia,Sarcoma; The three of Many classifications of the Disease.
The wait for the results; Is it gone or here to stay? Is this the last day?
A fight between life and death...
