I am the rollercoaster 
Of Cancer the 'Big C'
Its an unpleasant ride
So please don't join me

The 'up' is hope 
A steep steep slope
The 'down' is bumpy
Cancer makes 'me' Grumpy

Let's try and get a prediction
A score for all to see
Mr clever Gleason 
Has nothing to cheer me

So lets move on a step
and creep up by degree
Test this, test that
Reduce uncertainty

So now we're going fast
The FEAR is going to last
For ever by degree
That's the trouble with 'Big C'

Can we put the brakes on ?
Only with an 'op'
It will be somewhat gruesome
But at least it will stop.

Off the ride we get
Waving bye bye to 'C'
However there's a catch
He keeps on following me

So I shut the door
and little by degree
The FEAR lessens slowly
It's only 'Big C' and me

A ghost or apparition
It's in the mental mind
The battle of 'Big C'
It can be so unkind

I'm off the 'coaster' now
A rest i'm going to take
The thrill of it forgotten
Adrenalin in its wake

I'll move on quickly too
At a brisk brisk pace
To escape 'Big C'
I'm going to win this race !
