Living With Breast Cancer
After receiving a diagnosis of breast cancer, I received so much support from my family, friends and others.
Living With Cancer
What do you do when you hear the news
And will others be there for you
Will they give you support with arms open wide
Will they say they will stand by your side
To lend you an ear — to lend you a hand
My experience for this at first-hand is grand
I’ve been blessed by so many — both family and friends
To them my heartfelt gratitude I extend
Making Strides for Breast Cancer I hold dear to my heart
Free rides — online support — research — that’s just a start
Of why I participate in this event each year
Along with family and friends — they are so dear
Thankful each day I put two feet on the floor
There are so many things that I’m grateful for
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2016. I have received so much support from friends, family and so many others. My diagnosis was a surprise since no one in my immediate family had breast cancer...except a cousin.
Thanks to research and improved medical diagnosis, breast cancer is detected earlier, thus providing necessary treatment.
