You expected benign, the results showed malignant.

Now you ask yourself, how many more treatments left?

You think, maybe tu-mor.

Like the vast oceans, you think again, it may never end.

But I tell you, it’s just an illusion.

It will come to an end soon.

It’s only a chapter for a CHAMP like you.

It assassinated your cells, tissues, and even organs.

But it assassinated not your heart and soul.

Not even your family and friends.

And not even your SMILE.

There is only one truth about cancer.

It is a big bully.

It is ugly headed.

It is a coward.

It attacks the STRONG only.

An old wise man told me to tell you, you can fight a bully like cancer with hope.

According to him, HOPE beats cancer.

Now get up! Fight!

Untie your ribbon.

Tie it around cancer.

Beat it with hope.

When you are done, tie your ribbon back.

Decorate yourself with it.

It’s your badge of victory.

You are a SUPERHERO.

Cancer is a super zero.

………………………………………………….

Like what you just read? Don’t be miserly with your claps.
