In a minute, you are safe, secure in one world.
Suddenly, you have somehow left the now and become when.
Cancer has made the difference.
All your perimeters change; the future is now uncertain.
You are setting off on a different path, feeling so immediately alone.
Why me? Why me?
You look around at the doctor, nurse, and the love of your life.
I may not be with you much longer, but I might.
There is hope!
I can have treatment to contain it; I have been advised.
I might die of something else or be cured by the rapidly developing new cancer drugs.
I might be lucky; only time will tell; it takes only a minute for life to change.
