Second Year - First Day of Radiation

  

first radiation
repeat performance
-applause
*
two patients  

stand at the same door  

weeks apart  

* 

hands held  

in their imagination  

-a fifty-year bond  

* 

first day of sixteen  

on the journey to be  

cancer free  

* 

elder's

the seasoned patient

deja vu  

* 

techs' welcome  

machines move ... buzz ... hum  

red light beams shine  

* 

exposed breast  

gets radiation ... then  

pink skin  

* 

finished in minutes  

everyone's all smiles  

goodbye ... til tomorrow  

* 

survivors support  

given and received  

stay strong  


* * * * *  



Thanks for your concern:  

it's "only" radiation treatments, not chemotherapy.

Encore procedure, just like last year.  

Thank heavens for 3-D Mammograms that detect super small tumors
