but we aren't cancer. Cancer is part of me but I refuse to let it define me. And the same is with death. I will die but not today. My life is and has been good. But when its time, I'll go because death is part of the deal.

Cancer affects me, it may steal/already stolen some days from me but it will not take my life even if it limits my time.

I'll be paying attention to your posts. I will try to add to your life even if I cannot add to your days. And I'll be looking for that same thing from you. One way or another we can beat this, and already are.
