Diagnosis Of Breast Cancer Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Sitting here in another waiting room that's pleasantly
decorated and has a calming atmosphere in which to be-
gin writing.

Not knowing what to anticipate or expect as yet, wait-
ing to see the oncologist and radiologist before having
surgery on Tuesday.

Being overwhelmed with a diagnosis of breast cancer,
knowing all details except for the outcome; if all
goes well it will be fine.

Not sure how to feel about any of it, tears hitting
these poetical eyes, but continuing to try and hold
them back for now, while writing poetry.
