now everything
tastes of drugs
and i am tainted
polluted by saviour
as cheemo rules
my body and brain
befuddled with no memory
overbalancing, vomiting
stumbling, staring, sleeping
ah yes sleep takes my days
onto strange beds
in clinical wards
a land of anyone else
but mine
where is mine
where is my mind
where is my life and hope
and all i want is to goto work
where i do good
people like me
and i'm not a burden
on this sickbed of sorrows
like a total waste of space

what an incredibly powerful and emotive post today..... and one I think I can relate to......truly..
This hopefully is my final weeks treatment of this first phase and i will be so glad when its over... just spent 4/5 days in hospital drugged mindless.... oh for a rest and getting back to me again. Thanks as ever Neville.
Keeping my fingers crossed my friend and shall be thinking about you, no bull....... Neville
very emotional piece that many ppl can relate to.
maybe we have it all wrong. Misery does not just love company but rather needs company
Usually i'm upbeat and positive but see no negatives in displaying a part of me in a place i didnt want to be but had to endure..... still a part of me lost in cheemo drugs but i'll be back (hasta la vista baby - schwartzenegger)
Wow... I can't begin to know what the right thing is but what an ending. That burden to be a burden, thank you for sharing!
Much peace and respect
Not like me is it Dan but we're all human and this is a reveal of how i felt on the drugs downer in chemotherapy. Still ongoing but there'll be an end to it. Keep looking at tomorrow Dan, the sun rises for you and all every beautiful day.
And to you my friend I've seen two clients go through it and then go back to long walks with the dogs!
Your spirit won't let you stop!
Thanks for sharing DA a very emotive piece about the SIDE EFFECTS of Chemo. I (BRIAN) am a Biochemist so I can understand the effects of Drugs on Human Physiology to combat C*N*E* And some of Angelas Clients are on Chemo - so to a degree we can emphasise without the experience - OK
Every Blessing - Thinkng & Praying for YOU
Love BRIAN & ANGELA 💙🧡💙🧡💙
Thank you for your support in this. I felt i wanted to show the edge of despair in me as i lost control of my senses thru these drugs.
Very powerful emotive write d a, I do hope that soon you will feel better.

Thanks Goldfinch, just me on a drug enduced downer. Interesting to re-read my expression a day later as the haze lifts off me. Glad i published it last nite tho. Hoping to have a rest after this week when they let the good work 'rest' for a few weeks before they re-assess.
I'm fighting the good fight and still as positive as ever. Say hello to the river for me please friend.
Will do d a, will do.
All shall be well..remember the power within...you’ve got this and I believe you are capable of overcoming all..intense write..don’t give up the fight 🌹
I'm a very positive person and giving everything i can to defeat a cancer mentally, physically and spiritually. But there is chemotherapy which completely nauseates and upsets nearly every physical faculty turning one into a frail waste of space. Yes sometimes it's necessary to vent out the negative and that was the purpose of this piece. I was exploring myself here.
Not easy but keep keeping on and you shall overcome..best to get it out than keep it in...I pray medical CBD gets made legal ASAP🌹
