Took my last Tamoxifen tonight after five faithful years
Feeling grateful, but strangely mixed, that I have reached this milestone
That’s when I pause, and reflect on the many before me and many after who won’t have time for tears
Five years every night at 8 o’clock
Five years of feeling mixed
Five years of rebuilding
Five years of decision making
Five years then discharged, with added scars
My tattooed dots mark the spot
Mrs Tamoxifen you were my reassuring comfort blanket
I walk away slowly, can’t turn back or stop
Onwards and upwards, a new chapter begins
I’m taking every opportunity that comes...
Just wish my MS would take a day off, it’s like paying for sins
I’ll carry my memories and experience and hold them dear
But it’s the threat from Pandora’s open box that I do now fear...
