An innocent looking lump

An innocent looking lump
Small  and protruded a little
Nothing to be alarmed
But the doctor was skeptical

Being an attractive lady no less
Faced with pain and much suffering
For anything affecting the breasts
Cause of concern and much worrying

She had read of the medical fraternity
of not really being sincere in one's ill-luck
in advising doses of chemotherapy
to rake in the big bucks

The curse of the big C
Radiation is scary

  2. It is svary, Hank. And too bad we have unscrupulous medical care givers. It usually ends up insurance fraud. I pity thosee patients.
