The Sound of Music (OVCA adaptation)

Alexandra

Life was all roses and ponies and kittens...
Then cancer struck and my fate has been written

Blood tests, Taxol bags and vaginal slings
These are a few of my “favorite” things

Prominent lymph nodes and palpable lesions

Morphine, steroids and oozing incisions

Wigs, hats and scarves decorated with bling
These are a few of my "favorite" things 

 

Endless fatigue, chemo brain and hot flashes
Drawing eyebrows and gluing eyelashes
Remission in winter, recurrence in spring
These are a few of my "favorite" things

 

Nausea, ascites and bowel adhesions
Letting insurance make my decisions

Wondering all night what tomorrow will bring
These are a few of my "favorite" things

 

When CT sucks
When IV stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I keep hoping for N.E.D.

One of my favorite things has become this board...it's where I come to laugh! Alexandra, you are too funny.
