she drinks too much wine
chemo has been kind to her
she’s seen her child wed

This is different, Debs! I really like it. "chemo has been kind to her" such an interesting thought.

Dear Deb, I had a friend who battled cancer with all her might just to see her first grandchild. Sometimes the wish to be present during special occasions keeps people going. A lovely senryu, my friend. Love, Carolyn

Looks like a good senryu even though I don't know the person you are describing here.
