The Three C’s
After the tests and the biopsies
I have been told I have the big C
Now I have three C’s in my life
Cancer Corona and Chemotherapy
Each visit to oncologist becomes fraught with fear
As I have to mask up and be careful when there
The routine is getting familiar now
Back home through the door strip off and in to the shower
Can’t give Corona any power
It could be eighteen weeks in isolation at best
This is going to be a huge test
Because we don’t know how long Corona will be in our midst
Missing the most important people in my life my family
No grandkids running in to give me a hug all because of this nasty bug
cancer and lucky not two words I would put together
as treatments are delayed or stopped forever
I am one of the lucky ones who is starting treatment as we fight Corona
I am fighting on all fronts Cancer Corona and Chemotherapy
But I am lucky you see
Cancer or Corona will not beat me
