Waiting

1 minute read time.

Waiting, waiting, waiting some more ,

 5 days 4hrs till I know the score

Why should I bother to worry and fret

.all will be perfect again ,I bet!

Well perfect may not be the perfect word

I got terminal cancer , its bloody absurd!

The hands move or do they? ,time passes so slow

Roll on appointment , I just gotta know

Head pounding ,not knowing , heart thumping like mad

Will it be good news ,or will tidings  be sad?

Scans have been seen , records all read

Its in their hands  whether Im gonna be living, or dead

Its another day at the office, another hard slog,

 they know whats happening , but my minds  agog,

I look at the dial , another minute as flown,

I wonder if theres more mets in my bone

Come on appointment get here swift as  can be,

 I just want to know , WHATS HAPPENING TO ME !

    Scanxiety - gets to us all. But only 5 days 3 and a half hours to go. Your poem encapsulated what we all feel so well, I hope it helped a little.

    I love my consultant, he rings my mobile as soon as he gets any results, my work colleagues are used to whoops of joy and muttered obsceneties.

    Thinking of you always

    love and gentle hugs, Sharry xx

    Mum is having her scan result (PET and MRI) appointment on Monday and is feeling exactly like you. She is trying to keep as busy as possible, but the waiting is terrible. I will keep my fingers crossed for you that the time will pass quickly until you get the latest news. Try not to be on your own too much, distractions are good...
