Reggie fed from Mummy’s boobies when he was six months old.
He drank in the morning and night, and even when it was cold.
But Mummy found a lump in her left boobie one day.
So she went straight to the Doctors. Quick! No delay!
After scans and tests and more tests and scans,
Mummy saw the Surgeon at the hospital called the SANS.
Doctor said, "This cancer schmancer has to go!
Be gone you filthy critter! Get on your bike…Adios non-Amigo!"
Doctor said, "Come to the hospital and we will fix it.
You’ll need some medicine. It may hurt quite a bit."
Chemotherapy was the medicine to help my Mummy,
But it makes people’s hair fall out which looks a bit funny!
So we had a ‘Shave Mummy’s head’ party and all our family came.
We cried, we laughed, but Mummy’s long hair came off – What a shame!
When Mummy went to hospital Nanny came to stay.
She became our step-in Mummy and made our worries go away.
Daddy was Mummy’s hero and Reggie’s and mine too.
He looked after Mummy perfectly and stopped her from feeling blue.
We received lots of flowers, cards and presents to make Mummy smile,
Many good people helped Reggie and me for quite a long while.
Mummy had surgery then chemo and ray treatment for many, many, many days.
The Doctors had to make sure the cancer schmancer had gone and all was okay.
Mummy wore a wig to my 4th birthday par-tay.
Everyone came and celebrated. Hip Hip Hooray!
As the year went on, Mummy got much, much better.
Her hair came back so curly, the cancer had gone, and her new boobies were bigger than ever!
We thank the Doctors, nurses, our family and friends.
We are so grateful for Mummy to be cancer schmancer free - we’re altogether again.
Our Mummy Had Boobie Cancer ….Whatever!
