This {{opinionarticle}}"One Week" is a song by [[Graham Llewellyn Grove]]composed in 2000.{{rtoc}}
==About One Week==week can change the world
One of the saddest things I have seen, is a young girl being diagnosed with widespread cancer. In the year 2000 I It was in my fifth year of medical schoolheaven, doing a rotation in the oncology department. A young woman, I think her age was 21, had been sent in for further investigation of a neck lump that had grown over the past couple of weeks. Her GP had sent her in, knowing that the likely diagnosis would be lymphoma. He had told her this and the oncologists had further explained to her that if it was a lymphoma, although this was serious, there would probably be a 50% chance of complete cure. I remember seeing the girl that first day with her fiancee and parents. She was obviously worried. I believe her main worry was actually not for herself though - I think she was most concerned about her family and fiancee. Still, it was almost certainly going to be a lymphoma, and there was only a 50% chance of dying from that - so there was some hope. She had the biopsy the next day and waited for the results.....now its hell
At the meeting the next day, the oncologists discussed the results. It was a terrible shock. It wasn't a lymphoma. It was something much worse. It was a cancer called adenocarcinoma - You had your dreams and this meant that the disease was metastatic - it had spread from somewhere else in the body. The doctors arranged urgent bone scans and CT scans. These showed that her body was riddled with cancerous nodules throughout her bones, lungs, liver and other organs. She was going to die, and there was absolutely nothing at all that could be done. Perhaps some chemotherapy could be tried, but that would probably only increase her life span by a month or two. By the end of the year she would no longer be alive.made your plans
I wrote this song after watching these events unfold. I still sometimes think of that girl. Was she a Christian? I don't know. Maybe she Everything was, maybe she wasn't. We all die, but none of us expect it to be going so young. But I honestly believe, that through Christ we live even though we die.well
==Lyrics==
It was heaven, now its hellA single fact can change you girl
You had your dreams and had made your plansNo where to run, no where to hide
Everything was going so wellThis grows within, it's deep inside
You can't deny it, you know it's true
Now it seems there's nothing more
You thought you couldn't bearOne week has changed the world
Not knowing what was thereStarted with a cheering crowd
But now you know how can you copeEnded with a bloody cry
Now it seems that there's no hopeCrucify
Link not working removed. Lyrics only.
One week can change the world
You were so care free beforeknow death's coming and there's nothing you can do
One week can change the world
You know death's coming and there's nothing you can do
One week has can change the world
A single death can change you girl
These seven days, he's wept with you
