Poetry: Chemotherapy by Andrea Dully

Andrea is a hospice patient presently undergoing chemotherapy for a terminal diagnosis of cancer. Instead of feeling sorry for herself she has written several poems to share her experience with others in hopes that she can encourage, give strength and insight. It takes a special person to share such raw emotions with others. Please take the time to read Andrea’s words and pass them on to others who you know who are in need of encouragement. Also send your words of encouragement to Andrea through our comment box.  If you know of an organization who would benefit from Andrea’s poetry, please let us know.
