I don't mind at all. I didn't realize it was a previously written poem until just the other day. I really need to post on the comments that I, nor my friend, wrote it. I really don't wish to get into trouble do to a copyright ordeal.

I hope things are going well with you. I had my cancer back in 1994 when I was six. I've been in remission for nearly 14 years. I hope things work out with finding the poem.

Thank you. I would not worry too much about copyright infringement at this point if I were you. The original source was something like the American Cancer Society and it was given to comfort people like you and I, not to cause us grief. I just haven't had a lot of luck finding the original source. Hopefully I will one day.

Congratulations on 14 years of remission. How awesome for you. Did you have Sarcoma or Leukemia, by chance? If you don't mind my asking.

I was in remission for close to two years. Right now I can't say that I am still in remission, nor can I say I am not. Something is happening in there, but it is not significant enough to call active cancer. So it is sort of a limbo situation. Which is really not such a bad place to be.

I had Ewing Sarcoma, to be exact. It's a long bone cancer, but mine was a race case that was found in the ribs. Now, though, it isn't that rare to be in the ribs. But, back when I had it, it was, indeed, rare.

I went through 14 months of chemotherapy treatment. In the end, it saved me, but it also damaged my heart. I had to have a transplant about four years ago. (Four years as of July 25)

I hope there isn't anything going wrong for you. I couldn't imagine having to go through everything again. Best of luck. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts.

I have sarcoma as well. That is one reason I asked if you had sarcoma. I knew it is one of the most common childhood cancers, even though all sarcoma is very rare. I have Leiomyosarcoma. Thank you for your kind thoughts.

You have been through quite a lot for someone as young. I also hope you never have to experience any of it again. God bless you.
