What does this mean? This word is nasty and I no longer feel clean. All thru my life, I have heard this word, But it won't happen to me, that's too absurd. I find a lump and wonder what it could be. Is it that thing that begins with the Letter 'C'? It can't be that, I am only 32, but the Dr. confirms my worst fear is true. They try different things and do a lot of tests, but then I am told, I will still lose my breasts. After the mammogram, biopsies and MRI, I begin to wonder, Am I going to die? When people find out, and ask me how I feel? I say I am fine, because it don't yet seem real. Then suddenly, reality slaps me in the face, and I want to run to some other place. I feel like this thing that begins with the Letter 'C', is ripping my dreams right out of me. but, I have to fight for my 10 year old Angel at home, I can not die and leave her all alone. So, to this thing that begins with the Letter 'C', I be damned if you'll get the best of me. ----Helen Diane Gibson  9-6-01	Featured Book
