Something Blastoma... A Poem of Cancer Diagnosis

In recent months I have had a roller coaster ride of emotions.

Last December I had what I thought was a bad cold and Bronchitis. Following a Chest X-Ray and other tests giving results from "Valley Fever" ( a nasty fungal lung infection) this would be my first time. I got a even nastier diagnosis from a doctor. Lung Cancer.

Though the doctor was not sure of the result for certain. He came up with a stunning piece of news. I will tell you now though that I am not taking this doctors word, and have made arrangements for a second opinion in a few days.

But that is by the by.

The news was a shock. As with many traumatic events. I was moved to write a poem. "Something Blastoma..." is the result.
