Scratch beneath the surface of a cancer survivor and what will you find?

That’s an easy one.

You will find a big, bright and bold lollapalooza!

Yes, that’s right a lollapalooza.

Don’t worry, it’s not a bad thing. It’s a really great thing!

You see a lollapalooza is a real lulu.

These are first-rate special people that are real doozies, smash hits that have had more than their fair share of sludge, slime and silt.

Said in plain English, a lollapalooza is an extraordinary or unusual thing, person, or event; an exceptional example or instance.

Now when we are talking about people, cancer survivors are legendary lollapaloozas because they are exceptional, impressive lionhearts that are an example to us all.

Cancer survivors are lollapaloozas because of everything they have to go through. They are outstanding because they go through hell. They stay in the grind regardless of the odds.

They have a great sense of composure and so are able to stand tall with strength even if they are on their knees.

Cancer lollapaloozas are courageous people that engage in courageous acts every single day of their lives. They inspire others nearly effortlessly.

Cancer lollapaloozas are able to handle themselves in a noble and ethical manner. In the face of a life-threatening disease, we move with grace and carry an inner elegance. Yes we are angry but our energy has a strength and cleverness to it.

Cancer lollapaloozas are kind-hearted, thoughtful and generous people that choose to elevate others not downgrade them. They look for the goodness and empathise with their struggles.

Cancer lollapaloozas take closed doors and open them wide. They are ordinary people producing extraordinary results.

To be called a lollapalooza is clearly a great compliment and if you get called one then humbly lap it up because you deserve it.

It’s yet another word to add to your colourful CV of Incredibleness and it should be used to gain entry into any venue you choose. Add it to jim-dandy and a sockdologer as one of your titles.

Being a lollapalooza is an extraordinary honour.

You are one heck of a lollapalooza!

P.S.  Lollapalooza, is also the name given to an annual four-day music festival in Chicago.
