We all live with uncertainty
Some more than others
My youngest daughter for one
Well knows this part of existence
We go along expecting tomorrow
Our lives will be much the same
Making plans assuming that
The way things are now will continue
Until one test leads to another and another
Until a diagnosis alters our reality
Waiting for procedures and waiting for results
To determine the next decision tree option
It's not the best news but not so bad
To need ongoing treatment trials
To manage the symptoms
To be monitored with frequent testing
You will still have your life to live
Apart from this time in the medical maze
Making the adjustment to a new normal routine
Engaging with everything that matters to you
Adverse events no one could foresee
Or something wrong you never suspected
Make for a heightened appreciation
Aware just how precious life is
