The Dark, Dank tunnel
encloses her like a tomb
off walls of desperate doom
Whirling, Swirling, Twirling
getting sucked further down the hole
Bloody from white knuckling
fighting for control
Breathe...Release...Live
a voice speaks in the night
Every day's a precious gift
no matter what the fight
Light slowly returning
to the vessel, that was home
Spit out like a piece of chewing gum
she no longer feels alone
Like a movie in slow motion
the messenger began...
Everything looks good
Update on my latest scan: Hi all, I am happy to report that my scan was good. The oncologist did see two itsy bitsy spots on the right lung but this is common for me. It seems that every other scan has spots of some kind. She said the spots are probably due to my allergies and she's not worried at all.
I use to break down whenever I was told I had spots but I am learning to let go more and more with every year I am cancer-free. I do have to go back in six months instead of 12 which is protocol with any abnormal scan, but better safe than sorry and I like knowing they are on top of my lung health.
Thanks to all of you that have supported me throughout my cancer journey. Your thoughtful messages and comments mean the world to me.
God Bless and Remember~ Live Every Day to the Fullest.
