I have some friends who son was diagnosed with neuroblastoma for the third time a couple of years ago, after they thought they had beaten it. In one of his classes, the teacher wanted them to write their own verison of "I Have A Dream".
This kid has more strength and courage than any adult I have ever met, myself on the top of the list.
This was what he wrote:
I Have A Dream
I have a dream that one day cancer will be as far gone as the dinosaurs. And that no one will ever have to deal with this disease again. I have dealt with this three times and now I am likely to get a special treatment to hopefully get rid of this unseeable, unthinkable, and unimaginable thing. I have a dream to one day be a major contributor in ridding of this disease especially and mostly in kids, because I too have gone through what other patients with childhood cancer have gone through. I have a dream that one day people will realize that cancer is more of a threat to people than any other type of killer. It is silent, it is fast growing, it is unnoticeable, and most important of all incurable. And I have a dream that one day childhood cancer will be as widely known as breast cancer, from the tropical islands of the Bahamas to the bitter cold of Alaska. And from the hills of San Francisco to the valleys of Wisconsin.
As a survivor of neuroblastoma, one type of childhood cancer, three times, I know what it is like to be in hospital beds, and surgeries and waiting rooms. My dream is that there will be something easy for childhood cancer patients to receive that will cure their cancer without having to go through chemotherapy, radiation, bone marrow biopsies and transplants. And more chemotherapy and more radiation and unbelievable types of treatments when it returns. From the words of a cancer survivor, if you are able to avoid cancer, do it, whatever it takes. The best way to help keep cancer away is to keep a healthy diet and exercise and be smart. Please take this advice and hopefully you can stay away from the worst type of killer out there. In my opinion, if you can win the battle against cancer, you can do anything.
