It’s not all

It’s not all
the blood clots or
the headaches or
the backaches or
the tests or
the deep breaths or
the chemo or
the meds or
the nausea or
the hair loss or
the constant dependency or
the constant trips to the hospital or
the constant answering of the same questions or
the constant beeping or
the vital signs taken in the middle of the night or
the catheter plugged into my juggler vein or
the IV pump having to go with me everywhere or
the spinal taps or
the bone marrow biopsies or
the waiting to find a donor or
the waiting for the bone marrow transplant or
the wondering what the results will be or…
maybe it is.
