Not many words for it all

Dear Ones, much to say
Radioactivity
Taken attention.


Radiation - my
tired, burned finale
Back when recover'd


Back off, don't touch
Yes, beautiful scarf is green
Respect boundary


Slash, poison and burn
Our modern cancer treatment
Add ancient wisdom


Cancer survivor?
Or a treatment survivor?
Either way, I'm here, life good.


So deeply tired
Energy needed to heal
Awake exhausted


Please, a gown that fits?
Really? I have to ask you?
First in thirty months?


Fresh aloe and tea
Not ointments or cortisone
No skin breakdown, hmmmm


Are we crazy? yes
Feet feel better out of shoes
Went to flower show


Much love to you all
Treatment, tough and tiring
Gratitude, miss you.

  1. My dear Amelia,
    Not many words needed, just good to hear from you. Oh, and I so understand those few words! And yes, I think you are right - treatment survivor - more appropriate. So barbaric, isn't it?
    Rest, the carrousel is waiting when you are up for it. Take your time. This road never ends now but does get easier to walk. And yet the feet still feel better without shoes :)
    Love you
