My Friend Claims Her Second Round of Cancer–poem

I am honored to have a poem recently published in the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA).  This poem took 6 years to arrive in its current form. It is inspired by my sister-in-law who died in 2014 of breast cancer. She’d beaten it once and had 7 years of remission before it came raging back. She was always optimistic, even days before her final breath.
