Continuing my thoughts about recurrence, I hear many heartfelt stories of fundraising, but am drawn to the success of our 100 marathons in 100 days runner, exceptional? http://pages.contact.justgiving.com/awards/2017/voting/
This is what it seems like to me, getting up and doing it all again and again and again -I realise that surviving cancer once may not be enough any more?
Endure…
Already achieved,
Could you run it again?
The payback received,
Un-completing the chain,
And more that the physics,
It’s just nervous strain,
The heart of the matter
with Mary Jane…
Once should be enough?
But the now and then…
Is not what they sold us,
It is sadly when,
The lumpy rice pudding
hits the jugular vein;
Your dodging the odds
on an un-fair-grounds train…
I can’t trivialise the fear that must come with a second diagnosis, it is beyond what I expected people to have to go through, but seems to be becoming the new normal?
(With all respect to AA Milne and Rice Pudding)
