Six Lettered Word

In a second my life changed like i could never imagine The world was all Topsy turvy and i a floating object in the turmoil A simple six letter word Thats all it took to take my stable world away Upon that fateful day I was 15 and the date was May 12 2008 My diagnosis Hodgkin's lymphoma stage 2 B My freedom was stolen from me School i could no longer attend People i could no longer see The world was shut away from me Chemo and Radiation were my companions Aiding me in my time of need But the truth in that was they were killing me more than saving Strong of heart was I I would not be taken down I tried to show no fear or sorrow And now am thought a strong young lady by many others The most glorious day was when the cancer went away September 28 2008 i was told After I regained the freedom i had lost four months later did my true story unfold January 12 2009 I knew something was wrong I was right I had not yet won the fight Hodgkin's lymphoma was back to greet me This time worse stage 4 B had me captured A junior in high school i had been But now once again I could no longer attend Chemo my friend, we were reunited I guess it missed me This time a new component was introduced Bone-marrow transplant, Auto stem cell After tackling these feats I met radiation again September 2009 i was said to be free it was like history repeating itself But this time i was wary now it is July 4 2010 I am heathy, I have graduated but the damage my six lettered fiend has reaped upon me is still here An immune system i no longer have My life still on pause But i do not care Because i know what its like to have your life dissipate without warning Life is like a flame it can be snuffed out in a second So remember my words Please Dont let any regret into your life Dont pass a single moment by Live love and try
