I was diagnosed in January of 2009. Eight operations and a chemotherapy treatment, I was sure was not for me, later..., and I have survived. The following poem was written during my battle as I tried to keep the positive thoughts rolling in my head for strength, a bit of humor for the funny bone and hope for my sanity. May it bring the same to you.
Memories of Mammary
By: Suzi Sundquist
Unique to us all, we get them at birth
Somewhat like a ball, they decorate earth
Though size it does vary, substantial to none
At times, hard to carry but can pack the fun
We watch in the mirror, with hopes they do grow
Stand close to be clearer, stuff no one will know
In time they do weather, then wrinkle and sag
Shrink thin as a feather, a vision or gag
In came the physician, bad news surely shared
Now what a position, no breast to be spared
Hang on to your senses, have faith in the reason
Stay clear of the fences, to all there’s a season
A void they will fill, they have every size
For pain there’s a pill, all perky the prize
Big hugs to all~
