Sunday 2nd May

And so it was
Eight years ago
The Alien Blob
Removed from my toe
I liked the sun
I'd tan my skin
Didn't realise
Problems begin
That changing mole
Upon my toe
Biopsies later
It's cancer, y'know
A diagnosis
Of melanoma
And suddenly
Dark clouds came over
More surgeries
And all those tests
The right path to take
Oncologists know best
It metastasized
Moved through my body
Infected lymph nodes
I felt quite groggy
Now eight years later
I am N E D
No Evidence of (that
Beastly) Disease
But on a trial
Adjuvant treatment
Regular checkups
And scans quite frequent
Now I am vigilant
Protecting my skin
Don't want the cancer
To spread within
Living my life
Enjoy the outdoors
Spreading awareness
To you and yours
........
And thinking of you
Beloved Angel son
Every single day
Now forever young
