Multiple Myeloma

There was no NUANCE in the illness, Once it took hold, it spread quickly; The ATTEST taken was clear as glass, Once diagnosed the results were sickly. The BARREN truth was overwhelming, The TEMERITY she showed was unbelievable; In truth, I was more panicky than she was, Yet the consultant said a cure was conceivable. The APERTURE which struck my heart was great, She was not only my wife but a true friend; It was painful to hear of her unexpected illness, With this dramatic SAGA, I hoped for my end. My PROCLIVITY was that of sustained sorrow, By the cause of cancer to the bone-MARROW.
