Friday Flash 55 - Raging at Cancer - March 11, 2011

Today, my nose is cancer free,

For that, I am most grateful,

But the quite extensive surgery,

Has left me feeling hateful.

 

They had to do a skin flap,

To close the wound it made,

Now I'll look like Frankenstein,

If I have my face displayed.

Well, I need to get myself a veil!

I am participating in Friday Flash 55, the brilliant creation of Mr Know It All - join in the fun!

Alphabe Thursday - "V" Is For Visit to UCSF Dermatologic Surgery - March 10, 2011

That little mole was always there,
On the right side of my nose,
When it suddenly started bleeding,
Then my concern arose.

I went to see my doctor,
And said I had to see,
A consultant specially trained,
In dermatology.

I diagnosed a cancer,
Basal cell in kind,
 Dr. Cheung agreed,
And so pathology did find.

Referral then was made -
I asked for the very best,
For Mohs micrographic surgery,
UCSF beats all the rest.

So this nurse becomes a patient,
Though I hate to play that role,
But to end up cancer-free,
Is my primary goal.

I thank the dedicated staff,
For all the good they do,
In their committed work of healing,
Folks like me and you.
