Chemo Session Number Three
Chemo Session 3 – Aborted
For those of you who are keeping track
I went up for Chemo – they sent be back
My platelets didn’t do so well
They sent me home to rest a spell
I’ll have to try again next week
I hope my platelets reach their peak
If not then we’ll just have to see
When I can get session number three

Chemo Session 3
Chemo 3 just one week later
Found me just not a spectator
They took my blood, I met the goal
The chemicals are on a role
I sit and ponder as it stings
I wonder just what this one brings

Chemo Number Three
I finished chemo number three
It wasn’t all that hard on me
Today I tried for chemo four
They sent me home just like before
My platelets once again were low
My blood recovers way too slow
They said another week of rest
Would once again be for the best
I kind of think they’ll change my plan
To something that my blood can stand
Maybe three weeks in between
Will be the norm – will be the scene
But let’s get back to chemo number three
That wasn’t all that hard on me
My stomach rumbled up and down
As if I’d been spun round and round
And just like clockwork came the cramps
That go along with the bathroom dance
The jaw that hurts when I first chew
The cold that tingles lips came too
And this time there’s a brand new thing
That chemo number three did bring
My left hand feels like it’s asleep
A tingling feeling way down deep
But chemo three is in the book
I wonder now how four will look
