Hello Readers, This blog is very different from all my others.I try to find the correct words to make it sound the way my others do, but for some reason I cannot.

Bone Cancer is a rare cancer that forms in the cells of bones. The National Cancer Institute confirms that primary bone cancer is rare, accounting for 2,570 new cases per year in the United States. 17.5 percent of people are diagnosed with bone cancer between 20 and 34 years of age, and 13.6 percent die between the ages of 20 and 34. So, only about 4 percent survive this rare cancer. Only .5 percent out of 100,000 men has this disease in my race. Scientist are unsure what causes bone cancer and why people have it.

I have bone cancer. I am just another number, another statistic. I have had it for quite some time now, but just recently I have been feeling the unpleasant side effects. I cant sleep at night because of very cold chills, my body hurts, I cant do the things I want to do…ugh….I have seen pictures and read many memos of people who are like me. I think about the end every single night before I sleep and how my bones are going to be so thin the moon will shine through. Some say that the months are eating you up slowly but I know that I am becoming one with the light. At a church, they will say a mass; those close to me will receive a prayer in my behalf. They will say a rosary. Tonight there will be people crying, cheering, and celebrating a short life, my short life. I am a lit candle, soon that flame will be out. Cancer can have such a toll on the people who are closest to you. Family, girlfriends, friends.I havent said anything to any of my friends; I dont think I am ready; this is why. I am afraid that I will be left alone. Cancer can do so many things, but this is what Cancer cannot do:

-It cannot cripple love

-It cannot shatter hope

-It cannot destroy peace

-It cannot kill friendship

-It cannot suppress memories

-It cannot silence courage

-It cannot invade the soul

-It cannot conquer the spirit

I wish that everything I just mentioned about what Cancer cannot do is true. I can only hope. Thank you for reading.

-Cheers
