CANCER POETRY - THERE IS A BIRD ON MY SHOULDER

CANCER POEMS – THERE IS A BIRD ON MY SHOULDER

There’s a bird on my shoulder,
He is waiting oh so long,
He is waiting for the role call,
He is singing sorry songs,

There’s a bird on my shoulder,
Just about to fly away,
He is making tears for winter,
To get him through the day,

There’s a bird on my shoulder,
I am trying to let him be,
But its taking me forever,
To accept that bird is me.

PROSTATE CANCER - IT BEST TO BE TESTED

o
Because most prostate cancers are slow growing and many occur in older men, they may not be a threat to life. A man may therefore have this cancer, but it may not cause him any trouble.
o
If prostate cancer is detected and treated before it spreads beyond the prostate, it can be cured. Surgery which removes the whole prostate, or radiotherapy which destroys the cancer, can cure it.
o
The PSA test (explained below) can indicate prostate cancer at an early stage. If prostate cancer is detected after it has extended beyond the prostate area it can be slowed down by hormone treatments, radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
o
If you have urinary symptoms such as frequent emptying of the bladder and a weak urinary stream, this is probably not due to prostate cancer, but to benign prostate enlargement (non-cancer growth).
o
Benign enlargement of the prostate does not 'turn into' cancer
