Stay Tuned

Today I contemplate those perfect soft mounds of flesh
the pillows upon my chest

For one has sent me on a quest
a lump you see that has paused my rest

We did the 3d mammogram
followed immediately by an ultrasound

And now its biopsy day tomorrow
and my matched set will be scarred I fear

The progression of this process has been slow
quite the test

messed up appointments
and a road closure due to fire no less

And it's taken 2 months to get here
and so the moment of truth is near

What exactly does it mean?
Will it be removed 

Stay tuned   - Artimus 10/8/2023 (C) Susan Manley

Actually it's intense chemo for me, followed by surgery, and later radiation you see. My future includes loss of all hair, and a lot of not fun.
