Precancerous Cell Night

It's a 'down' night
an introspective
"I miss my dog" night.
One too many medical tests
I am tired of the clinic
tired of having my heart checked
tired of having my breast checked.
What is a hiccough in a heart beat?
Just feed it some sugar
and tell it to beat upside down.
Tell it to hold my breasts
’til the hiccoughs go away.
Precancerous cells?
Aren't they all precancerous?
It's not like they have cancer;
and it's not like they can't get cancer.
So, seems
they all are 'pre cancerous'.
That’s my take on it
anyway.

This is an older writing .. I finally checked out fine in all that was tested.But, the fear and frustration have never been forgotten.

The frustration is obvious, but you wrote
it in such a way that it has a slight degree
of humor...I can relate to the precancerous
cell issue...luckily I don't have to have
my breasts smashed in some sadistic machine.

Thank you for your empathy -- and, yes, that breast smasher machine is pretty dehumanizing.  We all have our crosses to bare, huh.  Again, thank you.
