The day was bright and warm,
everything was going smooth.
A simple check-up!
One test - Two test! Then the words came back.
Like a brick wall, you can't climb over or
you can't go around.
I felt like yelling and screaming.
Fear!
What was next?
I felt like running away,
but what would that change, it would stay the same.
For a moment you don't believe it.
It's a mistake, you hope it's a bad dream.
The test are wrong, it's not yours, No way!
Then it hits you, the test are yours,
and there not wrong.
Now it's time to face the truth.
Time to take the next step -
What do you do?
What is going to happen?
Will your family and friends stand behind you or run in fear.
There is no easy way to say this.
I'm scared, hold on to me,
as tears start to fall.
You can see the shock in their eyes.
Now they have your fear.
The words from their lips,
"Don't say Cancer!"
