There is a word in our alphabet that is considered by some to be so tabboo and never talked about
It is CANCER. My father passed away from bowel cancer at the age of 62. Admittedly, he had other complications too.
I have just found out that Rob Hirst Midnight Oils drummer has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. It has got me thinking of my life and those I knew had cancer..
My beloved angel lady Susanna passed away 3 years ago from kidney and liver cancer after a six year battle. At one stage of that journey, I wrote a song 🎵 for her it was written from the heart about my feelings. One of the lines was that God was calling Susanna back to heaven, that she had fulfilled her life purpose. It was my way of showing I was preparing myself for the worst. One friend of mine was horrified that I wrote that line. In her eye, I was being evil and wishing the worst for Susanna. It couldn’t have been further from the truth. I was getting myself ready for what the future held for Susanna. Susann, bythe way, loved the tribute song 🎵 and had no problem with me expressing my feelings. My experience with Susanna has taught me to freely discuss cancer, to not consider it a tabboo topic that is hidden and never talked about. Take car, and God bless you all, may cancer become something that is openly discussed.
Kaye, your post is so heartfelt and powerful. It takes incredible strength to talk openly about such a painful topic like cancer. Your love and dedication to Susanna are clear, and it’s beautiful that you found a way to express your emotions through music. May your courage to speak out help others feel less alone in their own battles with cancer. 👏
