Cancer is not a dirty word

Cancer is not a dirty word
Despite what you may have heard
It cant be caught by words alone
Or you’d catch it on the phone?

So say it loud and say it clear
To chase away the fear
Whats the worst that it could do?
Look at me and i will show you.

Your futures gone, oh no its not
Lets face it  you’ve not been shot
Plenty of time to say goodbyes
So don’t fall for all the lies

Laugh and cry, with those you love
This shouldn’t need a shove
They need your help, what can you do?
Smile and tell them “I love you!

I am living with Stage 4 lung cancer that has spread to my brain. These are my thoughts. It is a combination of serious articles and more light hearted stuff (like my ridiculous poems). Early articles are a bit heavy, but hopefully it becomes a little more light hearted! This is not a self help site there will be no advice on cancer related matters just my thoughts. Just for the record my name is Iain Trent, I am using the Blog name of John Frank because they are the names of my Grandads. I did not want this blog to jump up to anyone who searched for me so it is a way of providing some limited anonymity hopefully without being a catfish.
