Last year I think that I blogged the words to Melissa Etheridge's song I Run For Life. I THINK I have attached a youtube link of her actually singing the song.
The day that I was diagnosed I did not cry until that night after I went to bed and turned on the TV because I was unable to sleep. There was Melissa Etheridge, who I had never listened to before, singing this song. It allowed me to cry and cry and cry which was what I really needed to do. And then this song gave me hope and I knew that I was not going to let cancer beat me. I was going to beat it damn it and beat it I have.
Melissa is a 5 year survivor, she has reached the magic 5 year mark (I will be there October 2010). Please please play this video and really listen. If you have someone in your family or just know someone battling breast cancer, or any cancer, this song will give you and them strength.
