I don't know how it feels

To be given an expiration date.

I don't know how it feels

To swallow sixteen different pills each morning.

I don't know how it feels

To be confined to a wheelchair.

I don't know how it feels

To lose all of my hair.

I don't know how it feels

To have my loved ones crying by my bedside.

I don't know how it feels

To have cancer.

But I want to know how it feels

To take care of people with cancer.
