Cancer – a word now heard too often,

A disease fast becoming increasingly more common,

But it’s a word that has to be said,

So that a discussion is had and awareness is spread,

Cancer doesn’t discriminate and could strike at any age,

So let’s ensure it’s found at an early stage,

There is nothing more important in life than your health,

So you must take time to check yourself,

And be sure to see a doctor if something doesn’t seem right,

Genuinely that two-minute check in the shower could save your life,

Let’s share this message and ensure it’s heard,

Let’s all start fighting back early against the C word
