types of cancer drugs (here)
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
Bjorn's at Real Toad's - radiation

Big C is sure scary indeed and one big money making business. Why it will always be there.
ReplyDeleteIt is svary, Hank. And too bad we have unscrupulous medical care givers. It usually ends up insurance fraud. I pity thosee patients.
ReplyDelete..
Oh indeed... so very scary with the big C, but it does happen, and radiation is out there.
ReplyDeleteIt is scary indeed. I know plenty who've had to go that path.
ReplyDeleteIt is scary, Hank
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the Big C is something to fear.
ReplyDeleteNo one likes it. Messes up the day.
ReplyDeleteIt is such a hard journey, going through the treatment. Well said, Hank.
ReplyDeleteOh, the dreaded Bib C and how it is treated and profited from is as evil as it is heartbreaking.
ReplyDeleteCancer is indeed scary Hank. I think we all fear it might find us.
