in Head and Neck Cancer #1

This is the lump that's adhered to my trachea.

The lump that was a clip.

Then it wasn't a clip.

Then it was biopsied and 'acellular'.

Then that was inconclusive.

Then it adhered down to my trachea.

Then it grew.

This is a poem.

I'm in a silly mood today.

This is the third lump/biopsy since April.

I'm done being morose about it all.

I like kittens.

I miss toast.

I'm going back to bed now coz I'm supposed

to be getting ready for a month of nightshifts :D

I like working nights

Because I get to spend all day in bed like a teenager

and I'm coping with all this

in my own whacky way Tongue Out

    it's great being daft

    it's great being daft sometimes, my mother had an expression "as daft as a brush" don't know where it comes from, do you. How can a brush be daft. I had a small procedure today, the doc cut out a thingy off my neck it turned out to be a serbatious cyst it kept getting bigger every time my daughter looked at it and it itched like mad. It's still itching now and I'm beginning to think it's from the rads cos sometimes it feels all over my neck line where I lost the hair itchy and tingles. Keep the poetry up and feel free to be daft sometimes. I must see if I can do a rhyme or limerick about our situation.

    Hey babe every single day we are winning the war :) We are getting there, step by step, day by day.

     

    I'm glad you had your cyst removed. I have a large cyst wrapped around my left eye. (You can't see it as it's inside). It's now pushing my eye inside. I have one more CT scan, then they're getting rid of it for me. I should have had it out when everything else was being done, but it was just too much they felt, and I agreed. It wasn't hurting so much back then.

     

    We are VERY, VERY STRONG.

    You can do it

     

    I like the staying in bed part but I find if I stay too long I get feeling bad so I get up every morning at 4:45am. This way I have time for my Bible study before going to work at 6am, I like being in the office early as I get things done when there is nobody there to disturb what I am doing. All the best on your night shift and keep focus on healing and getting through this.

    Estelle, you are such a hoot.

    Estelle, you are such a hoot. Reading your poem has lifted me up. I pray all goes well with the cyst removal and you recover quickly.
