I wrote this poem yesterday about the side effects of one of my supporting medications. One of my friends suggested I share it on here for fellow sufferers. I hope this is allowed and that it doesn't cause offence in any way. Wishing you all well. Xxxx
When you're home with your honey
But your bottom's really runny
It truly isn't very funny
'cos there's nothing you can do
You want to stroll in the sun
Get a few house jobs done
Go out and about for some fun
But you can't get off the loo
All you can do is sit and wait
Hope the squits will soon abate
Play online Scrabble with your mate
So you don't get too blue
It's getting better - I'm so pleased
(though I still wouldn't risk a sneeze)
Chemo really ain't no breeze
But it's something I'll get through.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
