Hello doctor

S.louise

Hello doctor, I feel fine

But there is a lump in my chest

Thats been there some time

I think I need some tests

 

I need biopsies and scans

Maybe blood tests too

Someone to hold my hand

For the bad news due

 

You will say those words

That I dont want to hear

"Its cancer my dear

Im sorry they're the words you fear

 

Now don't get down

Its easy to frown

We will be here till the end

Now lets get you on the mend"

 

Those words he spoke

Turned my head to chalk

My life felt crashed

My emotions harassed

 

Family and friends

Said I will get through

But at that moment

It didn't feel true

 

Appointments set for chemo

I've never felt so low

Scared for my own life

Im not ready for afterlife

 

Im a mother of three

And im not ready to flee

So here I start my cancer fight

I am ready to be alright.

 

Hello doctor, I may not be fine

I know I may not be for sometime

I wont give up, I will be okay

I will beat cancer, its not here to stay!

              S.louise, thank you for this well written poem. You have really captured the ups and downs after finding out about the illness, and the will to fight. One of my sister-in-laws just went through the same, chemo and shots, and is now recovering. I pray your mom will pull through as well.

              • S.louise

                Im glad she is recovering. Life's precious with many ups and downs and many illnesses. One thing ive learned though is never give up.
