We are back home from the hospital.
He had a tracheostomy, incision to insert stomach feeding tube.
Biopsies on his throat and stomach.
We haven't heard from the biopsies yet to know which way the treatment will go.
Thanks to all of you for your prayers
God bless and keep you

I have new boobs, AKA ' belly boobs 'if you will
Diseased ones whacked off, belly fat fill the void
Would really rather have had hemorrhoids
But that wasn't my reality, no triviality
for sure
Got a great deal though
Two for one, cancer gone and tummy tuck
Found the best plastic surgeon by luck
actually he found me
Post op, proud surgeon praised his work
They look amazing, I did a great job
You could wear a bikini with that tummy so tiny
Ahh---no
You would think if you had a belly ache it would be in your boobs
but it's not
You could get stabbed with a pencil or get drawn on with stencils
But at least something is there to give some shape
An absolute TEN I would rate
They're kinda lumpy and bumpy
but help me not look too frumpy or dumpy
in my clothes
No more ultrasounds or thoughts abound
of careless cells placing one in peril
Or biopsies or missed diagnoses
Leading to destruction then autopsy
Disease free--YIPPEE !!
Thought the War was Over
By Franklin Price

Thought the war was over
When I returned from Cam Ranh Bay
Skin cancer popped it's ugly head
And still is in the way
Getting a little tired of
Having all the fun
Burning, freezing, cutting
Since one nine seven one
Freezing liquid nitrogen
Pre-cancers it will treat
Biopsies when suspicious
So the cancers we can beat
When they return as positive
Which happens more and more
The doctor does his duty
To keep the current score
Sometimes a scrape and cauterize
Could be a cut and stitch
Recovery obnoxious
I am kidding it's a *****
So far my score's phenomenal
All positive for me
Still zero for the cancer
That's what I like to see
My life's worth all the trouble
I enjoy it oh so much
Thought that I would share with you
To try to stay in touch
I hope your life's as good as mine
That what you're going through
Results in continued good life
The alternative is not for you
Don't feel sorry for me
I'm still happy as can be
Grateful for everything I have
Hope the same to you from me
A physical, some lumps, mammography, biopsies
Chemo, radiation, surgery, side effects
Near the edge, the strength, the will, sprouting back to life
The scars, a gift, a miracle, a testimony, reflects

To everything turn, turn, turn ~
Standing upon the ledges edge; uncovered
As peering about her city lights below?!
Gathering in biopsies water colours
Moments splashed atop their vestige be neons
Dissecting organisms called life; time
Seeking purlieu sorties reasons incised!?
Lifted, from his palette of brushed; this rhyme....

.."SwitchBlade" *
To everything..
Turn, turn, turn
Standing upon this ledges edge
Uncovered as peering amid
The city lights below
Biopsies water colours..
Moments splashed about
This vestige of neons
Dissecting organisms hues called life ?
Time, seeking purlieu sorties
Reasons incised..
Lifted from the palette
Of brushed; their rhyme.
