The side effect of radiation therapy is worse than I expected, 

 

I am terribly unwell. 

 

A sore throat and back pain, 

 

Since I wasn’t informed these were the part of the side effects of radiotherapy, 

I felt very anxious, 

which was emotionally devastating. 

 

I also realized myself that I was still seeking for a solution from someone 

despite the fact that I had already struggled so much.

 

 

Even taking a break can be a struggle for me.

 

 

If life would last forever, 

I would be happy to rest a bit.

 

But, as I see its end, I don’t need a break.

I would rather fight as hard as I could.

 

 

It is said:

 

“Live life as if today is your last day living.”

 

But, when you are sick, 

 

I would say, 

 

“Live as if you will live forever.”

 

At least, it works better for me. 

 

I might change my mind next week.  

 

But, I should go easy, for now.

 

Because if I think that way, I can breathe better now.
