in Lung Cancer #1

Hi to All.

So sorry to see this going away.

I'm 5-1/2 years out, stage 4 lung cancer with a side of tumor on the brain - removed 1 year ago.

Very early on in a support group far away a participant offered that he wrote poems and it got his brain occupied on something 'other than' his cancer. I thought I might try that too.

In my first 18 months I wrote a bunch of poems. Shared them online with others and received some positive feedback so I kept going. But I always thought of my poems as lyrics. So I spent some time back then seeing if I could find anyone to make some songs out of my poems. Cost too much so I gave up.

But recently I found Suno and Bandcamp online and wahoo, I found what had been missing.

Suno took the poems and turned them into songs! Bandcamp hosts music.

ALL my songs are FREE.

It has been so fun. Gets me out of my 'funky' times.

Let me know what you think.
