The challenges of living with and loving someone who is dealing with Cancer

A Poem by Onlyme

The challenges of living with and loving someone who is dealing with the Cancer

Is far from easy. I can tell you.
They have mood swings.
Other times they are happy
and taking each new day
in a more positive approach.

And other days. They are
knee deep down in the darkness
and just can't see any light.

Those days are tough.

Outwith the harsh, gruelling
treatments, medication,
Doctors, Hospital visits.
And keep notes and list of
this and that.

It's far from easy for them.
To take in all. The diagnoses
the treatment and then the
waiting game. Of wondering
is it all in vain.

 Did it work or not.

Am I Cancer free Or am I
going to die eventually.

This is a cruel disease and evil.
It does not care what your background
is your money statues. Or what part of
the Country Or World you come from.

Let alone if your young or old.
The list is endless to what this
monster does not care about.

It's okay for me to say I understand
When truefully I really don't fully
understand Only the people that
this Beast makes suffer understand
fully what it's truefully like to
face this Devil in the face each and
every day.

I admire their courage, faith, hope,
determination and love to fight
and not give up.

That is an understatement of what
these people deal with and must
overcome and defeat.

Us as family members. Are
spectators of this nightmare.
Who try to give comfort, hope,
love and encouragement when
they find it tough.

Let alone us having to see what
a loved one has to cope with.

We are okay. In a way. As it's
not us. But it does not make
it any easier.

They suffer as we do.
But they are the warriors
and the true heroes and
heroines.

Another thing is some people
even back off from them thinking
they are lepers and to me that is
sad. Like they think it is catching.
How nuts can you be.
And that is family members.
I am talking about.
