Just because you know someone who died from cancer doesn’t mean I will.

Just because you know someone who:
felt sick,
felt great,
felt tired,
felt strong,
looked great,
looked awful,
lost her hair,
kept her hair,
ate healthy,
ate crap,
took vitamins,
ignored medical advice,
got acupuncture,
believed in holistic medicine,
ate no soy,
ate no sugar,
never laughed,
never cried,
had surgery,
had radiation,
received chemotherapy,
got silicone implants,
got saline implants,
had a great attitude,
had a terrible attitude…

Just because you know someone who did
one of these things,
many of these things,
some of these things…
doesn’t mean it will work for me.
It doesn’t mean it will kill me.
It doesn’t mean it will make me live.

Just because it worked for someone else doesn’t mean it will work for me.
It doesn’t mean it won’t.
Or can’t.

It might.
It might not.

Just because you know someone who died from cancer doesn’t mean I will.
