Waiting For Chemo
What is gonna happen?
How will I be feeling ?
Will I be withdrawn?
Will I be dancing on the ceiling?
Will it make me tired?
Will I be in pain?
Will I worry every time?
The treatment’s due again ?
Will they take more blood from me?
And send it off for tests?
Will they be responsive,
If I make any requests?
Will I have to rest a while?
Each time the treatment’s done?
Will I know all that’s going on,
Each time that it’s begun?
Will I make new friends in there?
Who’ve got what I have got?
Or still be social distanced?
So the meetings allowed not?
Can I bring someone with me?
Or is that seen as a risk?
Does the treatment take a while?
Or is it pretty brisk?
Are there any side effects?
Like will I lose my hair?
Thats ok cos when my hair’s cut,
There isn’t that much there!
Forgive my many questions,
It’s what’s right, studies have shown,
But I’d guess all with this have got,
A fear of the unknown!
