You are dreaming about cancer
History means:
Grandpa, deceased, 68, 3 heart attacks
Father, deceased, 61, botched lung sample test
Father-in-law, deceased, 48, non-Hodgkins lymphoma
Grandfathers-in-law, deceased, heart attacks and complications, mid-60's
Mother, 64, cancer, twice (uterine, eye), clean bill
Aunt, 60, cancer (throat), once, clean bill
Coming back to Graceland
For Echo, dye, chest and pelvis scan
Low radiation and fast machines now
So as not to awaken the cancer with cancer
Then a surgeon can be called in
Examine mid-abdomen
Being like fresh produce
Having that snap
Relaxing into things
Being fifty-fifty
Hanging in there
Clearing the air
EKG bumps
Pulses and drop offs
Canyons and cliffs
A cartoon theme rings true:
"...at ease
until the next adventure"
Breathing deeply
Exaggerating the benefits
Clean air
Exercise
An occasional glass of wine
To stop the annoying whisper of the trees:
It's cancer
Stop being so Ralph Lauren Rugby
It's cancer
