Thursday 15th November
.
It’s been five years since my surgery
Five years of visits to oncology
CT scans and dermatology
Clinical trial and epidemiology
.
A melanoma on my toe
Found to be malignant, though
Cancer spread as it did grow
In my lymph system it did flow
.
A skin graft, biopsies and excisions
Left with making difficult decisions
Change in circumstances and conditions
Conversations with surgical physicians
.
Up my leg, to the top of my thigh
A lymphadenectomy made me cry
But five years on, I can’t deny
Happily giving cancer the ‘evil eye’
.
I leave the hospital feeling relieved
For the positive news I’ve received
There is ‘no evidence of disease’
A great big outward sigh is breathed
.
I wished the same for you
But that was not to be
Your life cut short too soon
Angel son, my sweetie
.
