Tom, I hope you don't mind I shared your post on the ALK positive Facebook group page. It is an eye opener for all of us dealing with lung cancer through NO FAULT of our own. Thank you for sharing.

Most people are still under the misconception that lung cancer is only caused by cigarette smoking and therefore bring it on themselves and federal funding is minimal compared to funding for research of other cancers. It totally baffles me why their thinking isn't the same for drug use which is perpetrated for the most part by drug companies and doctors who are in bed together.

Outstanding and beautiful put.

This is awesome ... and exactly the same way as I feel!! My two favorite sayings: "I have cancer, cancer doesn't have me." and "Live your life, not your cancer."
 
Hi Eleanor! My name is Donna! and Cancer doesn't have me either!!!!

Thank you Donna, my mother-in-law (Eleanor) died 2 years ago from colon cancer. I wrote this poem in memory of her. I am glad it touched you.
