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
