Surviving

Rating: 5.0


He has lost ninety pounds
in the last nine months or so

but it's not a diet
you want to try.

He only has twenty percent
of his stomach remaining.

Doctors removed the rest of it
trying to eradicate the carcinoma.

He has also lost most of his hair.
Chemotherapy is to blame for that.

He has not lost his positive attitude.
He just renewed his membership

for two years in a national organization,
and would have done more,

but that is the maximum they will allow.
My friend, you truly inspire me.
