A reminder

My nose starts running for no reason

I don’t have a cold

I don’t have allergies 

Then I remember I take cancer medication

Medicine to prevent a relapse

And this medicine has few side effects

One of which is a runny nose

But I try to be thankful for taking this pill

Otherwise the cancer may return

I have to live with the reminders of the cancer I had and the uncertainty of it coming back

The scars of cancer are on my body

My chest doesn’t look the same 

My nose drips and I am reminded that I had cancer a while back
