Please checkout the eighth poem I have just published in my series. 8. March – April 2009 The Next Phase. This one covers my first experience with radiation in March and April of 2009.

And here’s a little back story…when you arrived at the hospital, you changed into a robe that was yours for the duration of the treatment, in my case 42 days. You identified your robe by a personal tag and ribbon, I kept mine, that’s the photo you will see in the poem. The nurses were fun, one was English and we used to banter back and forth. I turned up one morning early in the process announcing, “good morning I am reporting for GG.” They gave me a puzzled look….. grilling of the genitals…. it set the scene for how we were going to deal with this. 😎😎🧨🧨😎😎
