Tasks wont run away. Looking at the wind building up, I am staying put. I will find a good film to look at this afternoon.

and also what u must be going thro

[Hidden]

Too right John:

The Destroyer

Cancer is greedy,

destroys our life,

cuts through our senses

just like a knife.

Cancer is thirsty

it drinks our brain

sucks everything out

and leaves us drained.

Cancer is hungry

it gobbles us up

takes everything from us,

empties our cup.

Cancer is evil,

plunders our souls,

fills us with pain,

cancer controls.

Cancer is cruel,

destroys our joy,

hurts our families,

tries every ploy.

Where Do I Go From Here?

I've had my surgery, left boob's gone

the one that tried to kill me.

I found the strength to carry on,

though I wailed a bit like a banshee!

It made me mad, filled me with fear.

Now, where do I go from here?

I'm halfway through chemo,

they've suggested rads next

and five years on a tablet,

and then there'll be those annual checks

but they've not really made it clear,

so where do I go from here?

I ought to be grateful, everyone says

that I'm well on the way to a cure.

I want to ask them, how do they know?

Are they so bloody well sure?

And still a voice whispers in my ear -

where do I go from here?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You don't actually get cured from cancer. Just have treatment until there are no visible evidence of the disease. But it can come back!!

[glesgajohn in reply to Hidden]

your feelings and emotions are displayed in your words and i really hope life smiles on you , you seem a fighter ,

[Suzy6]

Poems straight from the heart. Take care. Good luck.
