Keller: There is much cancer can’t do
Published 12:01 am Saturday, October 14, 2017
This month we will see more pink being worn than in any other month.
The reason is that October is designated as Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The message sent by people wearing pink is to encourage women to have regular mammograms and to get our attention to this dreaded, treatable disease if diagnosed early.
My wife had breast cancer years ago and because she annually had a mammogram, and received the needed surgery that allows her to live a normal life.
If you, or someone you know, have cancer, there are choices that must be made.
Cancer kills and the news that you have been diagnosed with the disease is devastating.
I’ll never forget when my daughter, Ronny, was diagnosed with acute leukemia. Her doctor shared the following with her:
WHAT CANCER CANNOT DO
Cancer is so limited
It cannot cripple love
It cannot shatter hope
It cannot corrode faith
It cannot destroy peace
It cannot kill friendship
It cannot suppress memories
It cannot silence courage
It cannot invade the soul
It cannot steal eternal life
It cannot conquer the spirit

Instead of focusing on the negative news of cancer, be positive and concentrate on the things that cannot rob us of our serenity.
