It’s Cancer� Cancer is word, not a Sentence (Death Sentence)� Cancer is deadly, fear is deadlier, but deadliest is a Closed MINDSET� If you think cancer is deadly, wait till you hear from mother in law � Give not your powers away from cancer, but give cancer a run for their lives.� When ALL else seems to fail, look inside, sometimes the simplest solutions are already in you.� Just when you are bout to give up, God comes in mysterious ways

This is how I look At Cancer
