with the winds of change blowing sideways

The following poem was written recently for my partner Sousan, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in late November, as cancer was discovered in both breasts. She had a double mastectomy on January 16th and is undergoing 12 rounds of chemo. She will continue with Herceptin (trastuzumab) every three weeks for one year.

The journey is like living through a storm, which is the title of the poem.

Unfortunately, I am no stranger to cancer. Ten years ago, I lost my previous partner to Glioblastoma, a raging storm!

I am able to keep my emotional balance by writing, which, for me, makes cancer less daunting.
