My Life With Cancer

For the past week I have been losing my hair. I expected it. I speak to a lot of other cancer patients in the infusion room. We share our stories with one another. I have been fighting this since October 2007. Nothing surprises me much about my treatment or the after treatment conditions I go through.

I spoke to one man who has given up. We talked and I shared with him I was in the same place he was at one time. This is a time you really need GREAT friends and close family to get through. I asked him, why? Giving up is what takes people away.

I saw him again at my next treatment; he was in a different place. He was fighting. I was happy. He asked me what my dream was. I told him, my dream IS to entertain, I love to sing. Songs have really got me through this. Music that I get to share with my friends and family.

In the future, I want to write a song about this experience. I want to sing about hope and not giving up. I never really cared much if the song would be #1. I just cared to have a song that is heard.

I love Reba McEntire, Bryan White, Kenny Chesney and I could go on and on. Their music is what I turn to during my chemo. They have songs so many people can relate to but, I want a song for my situation.

That is my dream.

God Bless Everyone and your families.
