Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy

I find meself in heavy weather
Because of the decision I have to make
Whether I want the chemo-treatment
In order to get this ten percent gain

The cancer has badly mauled me before
Due to the chemo I then almost died
To sustain the side effects now
Does it guarantee me a cancer-free life?

Maybe I’ll try a second opinion
To help me decide what to do
The recollection is ever present
Of the torment I had to go through

I’ll go for the radio and the hormones
I am not at all afraid of that
But that previous heavy chemotherapy
Still reminds me of the terrifying failure of breath
