Thursday 28th October 

It's come round again 
For my annual scan 
Breath in, staying calm 
Doing the best I can 
 
Results in next month 
Playing the waiting game 
Scanxiety's quite high 
Staying upbeat's the aim 

Seven years, on trial 
For melanoma 
Seems I've taken on 
A different persona 

BP's a bit high
Understandable 
Those internal fears
Quite irrational 

Vigilance and care 
When out in the sun 
For it could come back 
Bite you on the bum 

It's a sneaky thing  
This malignancy 
Try to live life with 
Capability 

Leaving this morning 
Seven forty five 
Home at five pm 
A long day, and drive 

Love you both 
Treasured sons
