“Cancer, you can have my hair, you can have my eyelashes and my eyebrows. You can have my fingernails, my skin, my figure, my vanity. You can take my fertility, my ability to think long term, or short term for that matter. You can have my ability to sleep, to switch off, to concentrate. You’ve got my time, attention and my dignity, for now. But you can’t have me. Not really. Not ever. You can’t have my soul, my stubbornness, my sarcasm or my drive. Any twinkle in my eye isn’t part of the deal, neither is my laughter or my heart. ❤️❤️❤️
