Barbara,
Best wishes for this time of trail. Hopefully, it will all go well, or at least as well as it can, for you. It's times like this we learn that the strength of our will and faith prevails.

We never know how strong we really are unless that strength is needed.

A very powerful poem, Barbara. Chemo therapy is unforgiving with many side affects. Faith and God is the better cure. I'm a fan on non-rhyming poetry, and your poems has a rhythm and flow to make it satisfying. Great work.

Comment from Trybuck
I read your fine poem and many of your reviews, and agree with most of them; You are now a poet!
I thank God for giving you the strength to endure and the continued desire to overcome.
One chemo patient stated that eating cheese biscuits with a high iron content molasses helps with the adverse effects plus drinking plenty of water.
Well done with your poem, Buck

Comment from Ronni
You did a great job on this free verse poem about
your Chemo treatment: intense yet incisive and
totally candid. Seems you know 'the drill' very
well, and you are prepared to face the battle
with your warrior spirits of faith, trust, and
parayers, from family, loved ones, and we as
your friends on FS. You are in my prayers!
God Bless you!

Thank you for your prayers. I have asked many questions. I do much better with the facts no matter how bad they are.
