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

Great character is shown here Linda, real nice penning. Keep looking above for your strength, I've had stammer all my life so know about speech therapy and in past year have prostate cancer, treatment finished but still go for 6-month tests. Keep strong, will be thinking of you, Blessings, Gordon
