What Next
I went in for a spinal stenosis scan - And just what did they get to see?
A tumour on my pancreas neck - Not where it was supposed to be
Another scan was soon arranged - To get a better view
A new consultant would contact me soon - Tell me just what to do
An appointment at Morriston hospital - To meet Amir Kambal and his team
Along with nurses Kathy and Haley - Who would give me support it seems
Then things came to an almighty stop - Covid 19 had jumped into place
So go just isolate – sit – wait and worry - But put on a very brave face
Then came a phone call to arrange a biopsy - Off to the Royal Gwent Hospital to get it done
But after a few hours and so much discomfort - They failed in their attempt to get one
Where now was the next question - We still don’t know what we face
It must “come out” was the easy answer - So let’s fix the operation with some haste
Within 2 weeks dates were exchanged - All Covid 19 tests negative by reply
So off we went to Morriston hospital - For the operation on the 2nd of July
Ahead went a full operation - Just a slight mishap on the day
The tumour was sent off for analysis - Let’s see what the results would say
The recovery has tested my metal - The pain was not very nice
There were many times that I just wished - My body was all wrapped up in ice
Each day has had its own problems - Getting worse from just after tea
On the 13th July the news finally came - That would make so much difference to me
When Amir told me “there is no cancer” - A cloud really started to rise
There was no embarrassment from me - When I knew he could see tears in my eyes
Amir Kambal has made my life easy - And boosts my confidence each day
When faced with any unsure challenges - I just follow what he has to say
So I thank all those here at Morriston - They have given me a brand new start
The patience and care they’ve all given me - Will always stay close in my heart
So I hope I have now turned the corner - And have a busy life now ahead
I will consider my options more carefully - Because it will be far too late when I am dead
