Dealing with the progress

At breakfast this morning Papa shares loud enough for me to hear what he had heard or read about Laisa Vulakoro's experience with a brain tumour http://www.taekamifund.org/ and how she was going to shave off her hair in support of the Tae Kami Foundation - WOWS (Walk on walk strong). I couldn't help but smile inwardly as I knew what he was trying to do and that was to encourage me not to give up on my fight of the cancer symptoms which appear to take on a new face each day.

Unlike Laisa who was able to get surgery in good time, my case like many other ovarian cancer cases was too late for any treatment. But I take comfort from the words of the late Tae Kami's song reflecting her journey with cancer:

WALK on, Walk Strong:

For the storm won't last too long,

Walk on, Walk Strong

When everything seems wrong,

Hold on,Walk On

Thru the fear and thru the fire

You'll find the way out,

Thru the pain and misconceptions,

Thru the sorrow and the doubt

When you look beyond your troubles,

Then you'll figure it out

You will find...

That the storm won't last too long

Walk on, Walk strong

When everything seems wrong,

Hold on,Walk On...

She's crying in the corner,

The work's never done,

I'm tryin to explain to her that the victory has been won

Don't Be Afraid

There's Peace Beyond the rain

I know...it'll be okay...

The pain never lasts

It's now  in the past

Hold on. walk on.
