Thanks everybody!
Here's a song I wrote for the folks at the Oncology Center:
The House of the Dying Tumor
© 2005 Jeff Porterfield
Tune: House of the Rising Sun
There is a place in Columbia
The Center for Oncology
And they've saved the life of many a fine soul
And one of them was me
My mother always told me
There was cancer in my genes
My father had a large prostate gland
And you all know what that means
Now the only thing a tumor needs
Is a body to play host
And the only time that it's satisfied
Is when you've given up the ghost
Now mothers tell your children
To do what I have done
The doctors may just save the life
Of your daughter or your son
I've got both eyes on the future
And I'm moving on from here
I'm looking forward to a life
Where I don't have to fear
There is a place in Columbia
The Center for Oncology
And they've saved the life of many a fine soul
And one of them was me
