What Cancer Cannot Do
Cancer is so limited…
It cannot cripple love.
It cannot shatter hope.
It cannot corrode faith.
It cannot destroy peace.
It cannot kill friendship.
It cannot suppress memories.
It cannot silence courage.
It cannot invade the soul.
It cannot steal eternal life.
It cannot conquer the spirit.
My wise friend, Dr. Anthony Ahmed, once told me, "Dissertations are never completed, they are abandoned." I defended mine this month, but I learned so much more from my study than how to scientifically contribute to academia. I studied male caregivers of women with breast cancer.
This project is dedicated to the women warriors who fight breast cancer and to their brave men who have given everything to care for them.
Strong Men Behind Strong Women
Someone once said:
Cancer is a man's worst enemy,
It leaves millions of families
feeling depressed, and confused.
It kills men, women, and children.
Leaving them and their surroundings
To fear for their lives.
It hurts people spiritually,
And it will always haunt man.
A husband of a woman with breast cancer once:
Turned the disease into an opportunity
To help others going through the same rough times.
Decided to be strong
Because cancer makes you strong.
Realized how precious life really is.
Never gave up.
And never will.
Because he has hope.
Hope for today
And hope for tomorrow.
