I felt a lump when I was with my wife one terrible night.
She lost her battle even though she put up a good fight.
I tried to think positively, I thought she would be fine.
But after having tests done, the lump wasn't benign.
After two years of battling breast cancer, she was gone.
I lost the love of my life, how can I possibly go on?
I was by her side until she took her final breath.
I've been living in misery ever since she left.
Every day I cry and mourn as I sit by her grave.
Even with modern technology, she couldn't be saved.
If we had found the lump sooner, she may have had a chance.
It's very hard to eat and sleep, without her, my life cannot advance.
I would give anything if the doctors could've saved her life.
My baby is gone and I lost my best friend as well as my wife.
(Even though this is a fictional poem, breast cancer is a serious threat to women. Women should have themselves checked.)
Sue had been so proud of her curvaceous figure and considered her pert breasts were her outstanding feature. Sadly, breast cancer runs in her family and now she too had fallen victim to this cruel disease.
both breasts are removed
mastectomy surgery
hot tears start to fall
Chemotherapy sessions take its toll on her entire body, with constant sickness she feels so exhausted. Her weight plummets and her clothes hang from her frail frame.
her crowning glory
lost with each stroke of the brush …
golden tresses fall
Twelve months later Sue receives the news she had been dreaming of … she is finally in remission. Reconstruction surgery has been scheduled and soon she hopes to look and feel like a woman again. Her weight is back to normal and glamourous wigs cover her wispy hair.
in sickness and health
their marriage vows hit home hard
husband at her side

-Escape of the mountain-
Do you care about my breast?
The new curve - countryside corset
The beauty of every summer dress
Laying down, wearing out gravity
Embracing the same feeling;
Your hands indulged in
Passion and devotion
around perfumed scenery
The perfect pair
Today we will pray,
Counting every second on the clock
No longer the womanly figure before'
I will possess a new battle,
around the virtues of my palace.
Will you still be there,
when the hump and lump are gone?
Will I still be the queen of your heart?
Patiently I shall wait and see
in hopes to gain the time breast cancer stole
Leaving behind torn tissue, with a daily reminder of;
The one that got away.
We worked in and worked out
She knelt down in silent prayer
Our bodies shaped without doubt
Unable to see the pain so rare
We danced and we sang songs
She gave the best of herself to all
We watched her smile a mile long
Unable to see the fear lurking on the wall
And as we soared and ate gala feast
She kept a vigil by the window sill
The disease ate her like a starved beast
Alone she took the chemo, the pain and the pill
We fought and watched each other’s back
She went thru some searing days
The angels watched her every track
They were with her all the way
Sad and disturbed and neglected we felt
She showed miracles with a smiling face
With strength and hope and confidence
She ran ahead of us in this life’s race
Dedicated to the most wonderful woman I’ve ever known, my spiritual mother, (AM), who had breast cancer and she survived and is well.

Strength beyond compare
Not even sickness could keep you down
You took the pain without a sound
You have strength beyond compare
And this with others you do share.
No one can know your pain
Except the ones who are going thru the same.
Breast cancer is not only restricted to women
Men get it too.
But they are not as strong as you
They have more of a macho block
This stays on their minds and just can’t stop.
The percentage may be mighty small
But it affects us one and all.
With a lot of inspiration
Someday we’ll find the vaccination.
It will stop those cells dead in its tracks
And there’ll be no coming back.
But until then – don’t give up the fight
We see your struggles, they’re in our sight.
send out this poem to all that you know
Stop the cancer before it grows.
PINK
She was dressed all in pink to show her support
Of how she was one of the cancer victims
And how she had fought.
The cancer now in remission and she
Was leading a normal life
But no one knew of her struggles and strife.
It’s hard to imagine when you’re given that kind of news
We can treat the cancer, but a breast you will lose.
You feel violated and raped by that word
This was something that other people heard. (not me)
Breast cancer has no preference to whether
your yellow, Black or white - male or female
We all have to fight.
You hear about it every day- and it affects
us all in a different way.
You may think that it’s just muscle and tissue taken away
But ask a victim and see what they say.
A MAMMOGRAM AND ULTRA SOUND IS THE KEY
TO HELP YOU LIVE CANCER FREE.
Dedicated to the grandma I never met - Irene Chapman
Breast cancer stole you away from mum
She was just eight years old when you died
Mum knew you were ill
She must have had a premonition
The day before you died she wrote you a letter
The next day….
She was told Mummy’s gone to live with Jesus
Four children without a mother
The youngest just five years old
Breast cancer you are evil
You don’t care who you invade
Women are encouraged to have regular mammograms
Imagine having your boobies clamped in a vice
It’s uncomfortable but five minutes of pain can save your life
But what about men - yes men can be affected
One in a thousand men get breast cancer
Women are encouraged to check their breasts every month
So get your fella to check your boobs
At the same time check out his moobs
Early detection is the key
Breast cancer can be cured
My mum missed out on having a mum
Not a day passes when she doesn’t talk about her
Breast cancer you are not going to beat me
I check my breasts regularly
Yes I’ve found lumps and had them checked out
I don’t want MY son to be a victim and lose his mum to breast cancer
October is breast cancer awareness month

When the doctor confirms your worst fears,
and the words “stage four” burn in your ears…
But at least for her cancer,
ENHERTU’s been the answer,
and we’re hopeful she’s got two more years.
------------
Frances was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer that had spread to her abdomen a year ago. I didn't think she'd make it to January 1 of this year. A targeted therapy did not work, and a chemotherapy only worked for a few months. The doctor started her on ENHERTU in late March and it has been an absolute game changer, nothing short of a miracle. She will be on this drug, every 3 weeks, until it stops working or she can no longer tolerate it. The doctor said the mean time patients stay on the drug is 2 years. We are thankful for our doctors and for the medicine, but God gets the glory!
Love is a very popular subject here on the Soup
It's the basis of much joy and happiness
Without love, we carry on with everyday tasks
Missing that someone to share our ups and downs
To revel and share in the good times
And to comfort each other in times of strife
Methinks that describes love very well
I've been very lucky in love
Most people end up loving one person all their lives
I've been fortunate to love two
My first wife Linda sadly passed away from breast cancer
At the very young age of fifty-nine
My present wife Cathie and I have been married
For thirteen years... how fortunate can one man be
My life has been a series of happy events
Believe me, I am definitely one of the lucky ones!

Their murkiness has begun, an agony may follow,
Yet, you can see their faint smiles with their eyes losing their glow;
There’s a cap on their head concealing their sparse hair,
Still, they don’t want to judge that life is so cruel and unfair.
They’ve accepted the fact that anytime may happen,
With this horrible disease which is also inherited from relatives and parent;
With all their gumption and fortitude, they wear prayers and faith in heart,
Strength in spirit to face the battle and trust God without a doubt.
They bravely underwent several treatments on pains without complain,
Knowing that some get streak of bad luck even from their environment;
All they wanted to do when amelioration happens,
Continue the struggle and show good examples to women.
On month of Breast Cancer Awareness, they’re making a shout,
Conducting the reveille for us all to keep abreast for the fight;
They believe that we’re in a brink of prevention which is better than cure,
If we avoid smoking and minimize alcohol to make our body safer for sure.
Having a healthy lifestyle is still the best,
Consumption of many fruits and vegetables and watch our diet,
Positive mental outlook and regular exercise are very important,
For a brighter tomorrow, against breast cancer- together we stand.

Note:
This poem was written with the inspiration again of my cousin (now my 2nd poem dedicated to her ) and one of my colleagues. They’re both survivors of breast cancer. I lovingly dedicate also this poem to all our the breast cancer victims.
