A poem written from the heart
Cancer I loathe and detest you If I'm honest, I really HATE you I despise the way You keep popping up to irritate us like a smirking floating turd Which we’d love to flush away forever Attempts were made to eradicate you Skilled surgeons tried to cut you out But you were like a ‘cling on’ in the toilet of life And you wouldn’t be brushed aside Six years passed… Then more intervention was needed A radiation machine called ‘Holly’ Tried to zap you like a pesky mosquito But you had other ideas Four years passed More specialised SABR radiation was required We treated that week like a short break Going on day trips on non treatment days And enjoying life to the full Two years on Cancer has raised its ugly face once again The specialist laughed when hubby said “We will treat it like a week’s holiday” Having a positive attitude is a must! Cancer – you crept into our lives People see you as a silent killer But I will never be silent and de-turd And we will continue to celebrate How we’re beating the crap out of you!
