What cancer takes, and shows

This is from a facilitator on my on-line cancer support group. It's one of those "dead-on" statement for me.

Cancer takes everything that we usually associate with why we are loved...control over our bodies, how we look, our management of emotions, our professions. Sometimes it can show people that it is their essence that is loved, not the trappings.

Thank you Leslye.
