Cancerverse 2

Positive

Some people are perplexed by my positive attitude
Faced with Death I accept Chemo with gratitude

Chemo - and what comes with it
Hot drinks searing on the gullet
Foul tasting lips
Throbbing nail cuticles and fingertips
Stomach, cramping growl
Gurgling, griping bowel
Ringing tinnitus in the ears
Denied the dignity of hair
Mouth ulcers and tender nose
Concentration that comes and goes

But hey - wife, mother,
Grandma, friend, organiser, lover
Sister, teacher and all the other
You've got to fight for your right to recover
