Phone rings
\nDoctor’s office
\nTests reveal lymphoma
\nWeeks pass with a myriad of tests
\nTests reveal Tuberculosis<\/p>\n
In anger, I said “get off my phone”<\/p>\n
Consult with a respirologist and several Tests
\nDiagnosis, Sarcoidosis, what is that?
\nNever heard of it? Chronic and inflammatory
\nBetter than one and two though
\nMonitoring and managing keeps me stable
\nStudying and paying attention controls stress<\/p>\n
Gratefulness washes over me when I learn
\nI will survive
\nIt’s not a death sentence<\/p>\n
