My husbands lumps

"My husband's lumps"
My husband he has some fatty lumps in lots of various places
Lipomas- just harmless little fatty lumps- nothing outrageous
And when we found one in his breast… we did pull some faces
But thought it's just another one of his Lipoma cases.
Then surgery to fix his torn shoulder earlier this year
And 10 days later he felt some pain- not in his rear
It was pain in his ribs- “pneumonia” we hear
But not only did he have pneumonia- we had something else to fear.
Yes he had cracked his ribs, but the breast lump was a concern
As well as other spots in his bones- the report was very stern
Then with scans and blood tests we would unfortunately go on to learn
That he has metastatic breast cancer- he nearly had a turn
Our life together prior to this was something we would yearn.
I know he is a special man and I am a very luck wife
There’s nothing he can’t fix and build- he enjoyed this in his life
But now 3 months from when we heard all this strife,
He is limited in what he can do-
To treatment, medications, blood tests and scans and trouble going to the loo
Everything to do with breast cancer is pink
Men do get breast cancer, only one percent I think
we do hope his primary and mets will eventually shrink
so onward with more treatment and tests and ribs that clunk and clink
hopefully soon we will get good news and celebrate with a drink
He tells me he loves me and that I am his rock
This journey is not one we would chose- if only we could turn back the clock
His breast cancer diagnosis certainly did come as a shock
Tis early days with treatments and tests, and please don’t take this as a mock
But he thinks he has a woman’s disease and that he needs to wear a frock.
