Cancer is…

Cancer is…

… an uncomfortable high heel which the heel broke on, and is squeezing your baby toe

… a snowstorm when you forgot your hat and gloves

… the metallic taste when your IV is flushed

… a kangaroo that is having trouble hopping

… a winding road with random obstacles you don’t see at first

… a squishy piece of gum at the bottom of your purse

… a too tight dress you are forced to wear to an event you don’t want to go to

… a constant medical device beep that just when you are falling asleep goes off and forces you awake

Please help me make meaning of this.
