I thought I was
Coming out of limbo!
That medieval imagining between heaven and hell.
I was premature.
Anticipating,
Impatient,
Before my time.
Blood results came swiftly!
With the usual -
Insulting, letter about not
Interpreting the results
Myself.
After twelve years,
I think I know
What the results mean.
But at least they were
Bulk billed
UP, Up, up and
Away!
With a doubling time of
Three months.
Officially the latest
Clinical guide says
“Extremely high risk for adverse clinical outcomes”
They state it so nicely!
But there was the CT scan!
Bless the CT scan -
It is worth any amount of
Extra radiation.
No change since the last scan
Eighteen months ago!!!
The oncologists have discussed
And DISCUSSED.
Do Nothing they Say -
Have another three months of quality life -
Test again and we will discuss again.
I am pleased to be back in limbo -
It is better than hell.
Perhaps I’ll become a
Limbo dancer.
