Although it’s Cinco de Mayo today, there are no tequila shots in my plans. Instead, it was round four of my chemo series. Lounging in the recliner at the infusion clinic, I got to thinking of that country tune Ten Rounds with Jose’ Cuervo. So with apologies to Tracy Byrd, here is my version:
But after one round with FOLFOX chemo
fingers tingle from cold but little else to report
And after two rounds with FOLFOX chemo
hair started to fall, thrush coated tongue hurt like hell when I’d eat
Then after three rounds with FOLFOX chemo
still strong in the spirit and Doc wants me to pig out so as not to lose weight???
And after four rounds with FOLFOX chemo
effects do accumulate, I’ll just have to wait …
Though dealing with some side effects, I’m better off than if I’d had four rounds of tequila. Happy Cinco de Mayo everybody.
When I’m well again …
A budding song writer…I knew you had skills when I married you! Two more weeks before round 5; and I’ll be sitting on the bar stool
right next to ya.🍸
I want to be there with you both!! Love you both, gobs!!
Nice tune lyrics! Could be a big hit in the chemo community!
Best wishes old pal.
