But I am here to say today
My cancer is not here to stay
I'll fight it and beat it and trick it,
until it completely goes away

It just can't be that I would die
Why this should be I won't ask why
My job is to make sure that I survive,
and do everything to stay alive

I stay as positive as I can be
I've done my best to feel happy,
but there are times that I'd be lying
if I said I'd not been crying

I've lost my hair and had mouth sores
I've worn a mask out in the stores
I've been nauseated, zapped and burned
It does not last, this much I've learned

I imagine myself as healthy and well
I've said good-bye to every cancer cell
I've told myself that I am strong
I cannot believe that I am wrong

With all my cancer out of me
I'll still spell cancer with a C
But now my sites are set quite far
I'd rather spell remission with an R
