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
