forgive occasional spelling error, I usually find them, unfortunately part of removal of tumor.  I am sure many people have different struggles, enjoy the quality and kindness of Poetry Soup, Made some adjustments. Also  meant to be a little light,  given some reasonably good info.

The first sunny day in a very long time My heart is lighter, the world is sublime Daisy and Danny are lying asleep nearby Their snoring sweet, a canine lullaby An MRI and blood test scheduled once more Every few months and this is number four A DNA repair gene on chromosone 10Q26 the strand This is a gift from the brain, rare and grande It works with the new chemical TMZ Works with chem/radiation, should work for me Husband and wife a little less afraid The angel of death is now delayed Still means I will get tired Immune system weakens, the brain is rewired Speech therapy, pain, combine with PT In the end we all have a date with eternity
