Mammography

Under the press, for the first time in my life.
Curious, how much pain will it give?
“I'm sure I can have it”,
Tough and bared I stood there.
I quickly saw the pain.

With every push of a button
tears jumped in my eyes.
“Hold on,” you said almost immoved.
As a wringer for your swimsuit,
pulled my skin inside.
Hold on, we're about to start.

You ran away, and there I was.
My chin stiff against the cold steel.
Moveless, stuck against the cold metal.
Biting my teeth.
Waiting for you to come back.
Grutting the pain stare
Until you took the pressure away again.

I've heard the stories for many years.
For the first time in my life I experienced “the bus”.
It was an experience, for me the first time.
Luckily, this bus never comes for me again.

This poem comes from the collection OTHER LIFE...

A bundle about forging, fighting, hope and trust. Breakdown by chemo, but also rebuilding.
A collection about friendship and accepting, but also about life and learning.
Breast cancer... it happened to me. Breast cancer... has decreased a portion.
Yet it has also given a part. I call it “Other Life”!

August 2013, it happened to me too. Cancer took my breasts away.
Three surgeries in just one year. Because I also lost the ovaries.
After exactly one year, I was back. Hospital, chemo and build-up, it all happened so fast.
The bundle will be about my battle, that which has happened to me. Fighting cancer, it didn't happen in my dreams at the time.
Also attention to not giving up, fighting and moving. Is a goal of Bundle Other Life.
By writing this bundle, I have been able to process a lot. I hope it can strengthen you!
My thanks go to all, so much support through all misery. I enjoyed it and it kept me going.
