Saturday 2nd May

.

Seven years ago today

Alien blob was cut away

.

Melanoma diagnosis

Quite a fair prognosis

.

More surgery to lymph nodes

And that really hurt loads

.

Biposies, skin graft and scars

All added to my memoirs

.

Started on a clinical trial

Bloods, obs, scans and checks worthwhile

.

Lymphoedema a side effect

A small price to pay, I suspect

.

Sunglasses, big hats and sunscreen

Now preventing the unforeseen

.

Living with vigilance

To reduce the incidence

.

Thinking of you my darling

Precious Angel son

Broom from the garden

Porthmeor, West End

Looking towards the Island

Quiet in the harbour

No waves at all
