Enjoy!
The Stupendous Sideshow!
Be mesmerized
As they slice away
Piece
After
Piece
Of me.
And I'll never
Miss it,
They say,
As my brain
Grows foggy,
My hair
Falls out.
All in the name of good health.
What’s in it for me?

This touched me .. "All in the name of good health." Very deep, Tina.
ReplyDeleteNice post but I'm sorry you're going through it. Is your treatment connected to a teaching hospital?
ReplyDeleteThis really hits home with me. I had breast cancer 16 years ago. I'd never felt healthier the day I was diagnosed. Then chemo almost killed me (literally). But here I am so it was worth it! Life is a pretty great "what's in it for me?" answer!
ReplyDeleteAnother powerful piece. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteWhoa. Yes ma'am, right down into the nuts and bolts of it. [black panther fist]
ReplyDeleteYeah, I couldn't say it any better so I'll just say "well done"!
ReplyDeleteSuch a touching piece :)
ReplyDeleteI find this very deep. I can hear your anger in it because that was exactly how my mom in law felt during her battle with breast cancer.
ReplyDeleteThis was very powerful! <3
ReplyDeleteWOW...this was brutally honest and refreshing. I LOVED IT!
ReplyDeleteI loved the opening--so dehumanizing.
ReplyDeleteAh cancer...so much to suffer through to get 'better'. Loved the way you have portrayed the experience. So touching and raw.
ReplyDeleteOh, that one punched me in the gut a bit...guess I've known too many who have traveled down that road.
ReplyDeleteThis cuts right through me. Congrats, Tina!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLife by a thousand cuts, huh?! You tell that cancer from me to GET OUT NOW!
