I sick of you the treatment to get rid of your sad ass hurt me and I still have pain and side effects. Yes I beat you and will always beat you youade me lose my. Memory and strength fuck you I’ll win
Dear Cancer,
MY DEAREST CANCER
Without a thought you took me
Left me darkness and despair
You took all the fundamentals
I even lost my hair
You split my soul wide open
Feels like nothings left inside
You locked me in my casket
I have not even died
You stole the love around me
You filled me with regret
And every time I fight you
I think, “Is this over yet?”
The pain goes past the physical
With it there are no scars
Sometimes I am so lonely
I feel displaced on Mars
I search for hope in every place
Is easy to forget
That even the great catchers
Need the perfect mitt
You given much resistance
To finish lifetime goals
Have clouded my good judgment
Have filled my roles with holes
The emotions are so daunting
On this roller coaster ride
And climbing steeper mountains
Leaves me no place left to hide
Why make my heart so callous
Take my place to grip
Then drown me in the ocean
Have not built my ship
Please take no more from me
Without something to replace
Let light and love surround me
Touch me with God’s grace
Jonnie – Fall 2009
When I wrote this, it had just begun and now I look back and think My Dearest Cancer letter must have been lost in the mail. However, I am grateful to be alive.
Dear Cancer,
Just go away! Why are you still trying to take things from her. You have taken her breast and having kids. You are now trying to take away her bones and her liver. She is only 31. She does not deserve any of this. What the is your problem. Go back to the hole you crawled out of, you son of a gun
She is my BEST FRIEND! I will NOT LET YOU HAVE HER!!!! Just leave her alone.
Oh and Fyi: even though you made her hair fall out, SHE IS STILL BEAUTIFUL…. She can rock a mohawk like nobodies business!! S
Dear Cancer,
So I walked in my first Breast Cancer Walk. You won this round…I won’t walk again. Shirt after shirt read, ” I walk in memory of my mother”, “I walk in memory of my sister”,”I walk in memory of my friend”, my aunt, my coworker, my boss……I saw the faces of the people I love wearing those shirts and I don’t want to be the next “In Memory of……”.
Dear Cancer,
I hate you so much. at 16 years old I had to say goodbye to my mom, my best friend, because you can’t just leave people alone. my mom fought Ovarian Cancer so hard for 12 years, and you just couldn’t raise that white flag. now i’m 23, and guess what, I still have to live without my mom. for the rest of my life!! she wasn’t there to see me graduate college last month, she isn’t there for me to call when I need advice, and she won’t be there for so many other things, milestones, like my wedding, or when I have a baby. you are the worst of the worst and I wish that you would just go away. you ruin millions of lives each year, haven’t you had enough yet?!?!?! after torturing my mom for 12 years you couldn’t just back down?!?! this pain that you have caused will NEVER go away. I will NEVER be able to see my moms face again, or hear her voice, or tell her how much I love her and how I would give ANYTHING in the entire world for just one more day with her. how you do this to good people?! these are people!! they’re mothers, daughters, sisters, brothers, husbands, etc. my mom never deserved any of the torment you put her through. because of cancer, my kids will never have the beautiful, vivacious, fun-loving role model to look up to that i had for 16 years. cancer hasn’t only taken my mom, it’s taken a part of me that will never come back. please just go away. I’m so angry at you and so mad that my family and I will forever have to live with anger, and a huge void in our lives.
please. how many more innocent lives must be lost before you just go away. you’ll never achieve a victory. cancer will NEVER win!!
Dear Cancer,
I hated you; I hated you for trying to take my dad away. I mean, what bad had he done? You came to him, to his throat, and he’d never been a smoker or even a drinker. You make no sense, and though I tried to be strong, but when he had to get that stomach tube put in and stay overnight at the hospital, I cried. I let you take over my life. I let my problems throw me into the deep end, no longer the girl I once was, slipping back into that depression. Why must you and death take away what was supposed to be the best part of my life and turn it into some cruel joke that life decided to play on me?
Dear Cancer,
im so tired of you cancer , im so tired . its so hard to go on i hate you and i wish you would go straight to hell and never come back . leave me alone ….leave me alone get out of my body and go cancer yourself. invade you not us people . were mothers, fathers, daughters,sons, granddaughters, grandsons, aunts ,sisters, brothers, cousins. but you cancer is nasty , mean , and dont deserve who you take or what you do to people. i hate you so much !!!!!!!!
Dear Cancer,
First you invaded my mommy’s body you took it over and i hate you. You made her sick and cry in pain for days on end. You made her lose her hair and her eye lashes, you took away her feeling of beauty and youthfulness, you took away our family’s sense of security. But you did NOT take her. she beat you and you came back for my daddy. now he cries In pain and can’t eat without getting violently ill. You turned my daddy my superman, and turned him into a man who can barely walk down the stairs anyomore. He will continue to fight you, we all will. Cancer will NOT take you daddy. FUCK YOU CANCER, LEAVE MY FAMILY ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear Cancer,
I hate you. You are ugly and evil and vile. You stole my mother when I was just a little girl and went 3 rounds with my sister and she kicked your ass. I want you out of me. The thought of you inside of me makes me sick, sad and angry. I hate that you make me cough. I hate that my voice no longer sounds like me. I hate that the thought of you keeps me up at night and worries my children. But I want you to know I am stronger than you. I am more determined than you. I have so much love and support on my side you should be cowering in fear, not me! You are with me for now, but not for long. With the help of my doctors, you will leave my body, and I want you to know you are not welcome back. EVER!! Screw you cancer!
Dear Cancer,
I am writing to let you know your days are numbered. You messed with the wrong momma. You may have your grubby little fingers around my son but you bit off more than you can chew when you chose mine. I will not rest until you are out of my life, which won’t be long. Have you heard of the bully all bullies are afraid of? Well, that is me and I will not stop until you are destroyed. In the process I am going to remain optimistic and you will not take me down or destroy me. You have only made me stronger. Fear what you have created.
Dear Cancer,
First of all, there is nothing “dear” about cancer, especially the miserable Ovarian Cancer that you put my wife through. After 13 months, 16 chemo treatments, uncountable nausea/vomiting sessions, intestinal blockage, and unbearable pain that you caused, you didn’t even spare her. She so wanted to beat you, even as miserable as she felt, she never stopped fighting. But unfortunately you won last Tuesday.
She wants everyone to know that she never gave up! The docs gave up first. Her will to live couldn’t beat you, but we’ll keep on fighting you so you don’t bring pain to other women the way the way you did to her. You also hurt my daughter, who had to say goodbye to her mother at only 19 years old. And guess what, I hurt too, and I’m not sure if this hurt will ever go away from either of us. You destroyed all of our plans and dreams, and I hope we can do something to spare another family of this grief. She was way too young……………
Dear Cancer,
Dear Cancer,
My name is Ashleigh and I am 12 yrs. old. I know that someday we will inevitably have the technology to make sure you die!! To make sure you pay for the lives you’ve taken!!
I hate you! I hate you with a passion so strong that I’m afraid of how it will affect me. You took my both of my grandfathers away from me. You will not take my mother!!!
My grandmother beat you and my mother will beat you!!
