In the Depths of Cancer’s Shadow

Title: In the Depths of Cancer’s Shadow

In Britain’s realm, where hope grows dim,
A tragedy unfolds, a battle within.
Cancer’s grip, relentless and cruel,
Drains the lives of many, a sorrowful duel.

Breast cancer strikes with a ruthless aim,
Yet survival here, not of fortune’s fame.
Warriors strong, fighters brave and true,
Face a daunting foe, their strength undue.

Lung cancer’s wrath, a smothering weight,
Leaving broken bodies and souls betrayed.
Through the mist, gasping for air,
Survival becomes a desperate affair.

Prostate cancer silently spreads its reign,
Yet within these borders, survival wanes.
Men suffer in silence, their voices suppressed,
As the enemy marches, unoppressed.

Those afflicted by liver cancer’s sting,
Battling against time, as hope seems to thin.
Survival rates dip, a somber refrain,
Leaving loved ones to wander in pain.

Colorectal cancer, an unwelcome beast,
Claims countless lives, a brutal feast.
Survival struggles, as whispers of despair,
Echo through the land, a burden to bear.

Pancreatic cancer, a deadly foe indeed,
The battlefield scattered with those who bleed.
Survival here, a rare glimmer of light,
As many succumb to the endless fight.
