SOUL SISTERS

I thought it would just be a normal chemo day
Coping with chemo and Covid in my own way
There I was trying to hide and stay silent
Daydreaming of sunning it up on a beautiful tropical island
You amazing girls were chatting away
With one thing in common that we were all here to slay.
Not a person or any creature we all love
But to give breast cancer the ultimate shove
I tried my best to keep my story from you
As I knew what you were all going through
Not because we were all sat in the purple chair
But it was my reoccurrence that I didn’t want to share
I believed I was the elephant in the room
Scared I would bring upon you doom & gloom
I know what it’s like to crave the words ‘you have the all clear’
A Reoccurrence was my ultimate fear
You spotted me sat with my earphones in
Keeping to myself just praying for a win
A conversation about hair brought us together
Along with the experience of northern weather
Wednesday was no longer just a treatment day
We had become friends to help each other along the way
Sharing stories of the good and the bad
Reminiscing the care free days we once had
You didn’t care my journey was your worst nightmare
You were there for me when I thought I couldn’t share
Tragedy has its ups and downs
But with you girls there is no time for frowns
I thank you for accepting me for who I am
I will always be there as the fruit to your jam
Although Cancer made our worlds collide
Our friendship evolves whilst on this crazy ride
Much love
