My Colon Cancer Cells

My colon cancer cells, an acrostic poem

Midmorning last week I had an appointment
you know the type, I know the type
confronting, in my face, unpleasantly looking
of the number One Variety
lying low till it was too late
of the illness that kills
not that I know for sure yet
colon cancer has been diagnosed
and that's all I know
not much to go on for sure, but
caring for more information on
effectivity of treatment
radiation?operation?chemo?
colon cancer therapy
eh, I
love life, I
love people
so I hope I still have time!
