Tuesday 28th November 

In shadows cast 
By silent fears 
A tale unfolds 
Dispelling tears 
It's melanoma's 
Ominous trace 
In CT scans 
A hopeful grace 

No metastatic 
Evidence found 
Normal echoes 
All around 
Colonoscopy 
Results in too 
Polyps removed 
All's good, thank you 

Ten years in the 
Clinical trial 
Grateful heart 
Evokes a small smile 
Quietly high-fiving 
The uneasy unseen 
A dance with hope 
Where fears have been 

No jinx is cast 
Just caution's thread 
Vigilance lingers 
Where worries tread 
Safe sun care 
An eternal oath 
Copious sunscreen 
Prevents cancer growth 

Malignant melanoma 
A sneaky beast 
The worry's still there 
But there's hope at least 
A healthy lifestyle 
Common sense in the sun 
Enjoying this life 
The battle's near won 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum
