Dear cancer world

Dear cancer world,

With your predictions, graphs and tables

I am not that dot, line or bar

I am not your statistic

You don’t know if I entered this world by normal delivery or ceasearian

If I grew up in the country or the city

You dont know if I had friends as a kid or if I was a dweeb!!

If I played outside every day or sat in a tiny flat in the dark.

You don’t know if I grew up on ham and spam or grew my own carrots in my back garden.

If I had parents, or I did not…..

If I lived in with a broken relationship or a loving one.

You don’t know if I was bullied at school or if I thrived and was at the top of my class.

If I have mental health issues or live like a free spirit every day.

You don’t know if I ever crashed my car, or had a undiagnosed medical condition.

If I am a health freak or a bum!

You don’t know if I believe in God, or if I do not.

If I practice yoga and medidate or I smoke 20 packs a day.

You dont know if I am happy in life or if I hide behind sad.

If I live life to the full or just exist each day in my simple world.

Dear cancer world,

With your predictions, graphs and tables

I am not that dot, line or bar

I am not your statistic

You cannot predict my future, my outcome or my fate. You cannot decide for me and fit me into your charts. I am me, I am unique. I choose my path.

One size doesn’t fit all………come back to me when you have got more data !!
