And then

And then

A Poem by Caladoscope
"

Have to go back to the hospital for more tests and this weirdo chemo thing for my bones that made me super sick last time.Tracking my cancer thru my blood...what next?

"
There was me before
And then
there was me
Body combusting from the Core

It hurts my teeth
down to their ridiculous state of affairs
And then
there was me
Whole body in a desperate state of arrears

And then it was time to go
Back to the hospital
I know

Sunnyside Up, all will be ok
Cuz the Chemo for my Bones
Ain't so bad
I'm nearly cancer free
Life's not so bad

And then there's
The Fear
The cancer will reappear
And then there's  Me
Grappling with what's too Near
Just in case I have to ever prove to that I was ever
Here

Again...Just putting it out there because, maybe, there are other Breast Cancer Warriors who might understand. I am no Rilke, Seuss or Whitman. Being scared is part of the cancer Survival game...
