A poem for my medical team during my cancer battle

By Charlotte De Brabandt


When I was lost and afraid, You found me and guided me home.

When I was weak and in pain, You gave me strength to carry on.

When I was afraid of the unknown, You gave me hope and courage.

When I was feeling lost and alone, You were there for me, always.

In the midst of shadows, you are our guiding light,

A team of healers, strong and bright,

Through the storm of breast cancer, we tread,

With your support, we rise from where we've bled.

In the white coats of hope, you stand so tall,

With compassion and care, you give your all,

Nurses, doctors, and all who aid,

In this battle, together, we've made our trade.

Through surgeries and treatments, you've been our guide,

With skill and grace, you've stayed by our side,

You've witnessed our tears, our laughter, and fears,

And wiped away worries with tender care.

So, to our medical team, our heroes so dear,

You're the reason we're still standing here,

For your dedication and firm grace,

We'll forever hold your love in embrace.

In this breast cancer battle, we find our way,

With your support, we'll greet each new day,

With gratitude and hearts full of love,

We thank you, dear team, for your healing hands,


I hope this poem inspires you to keep fighting and never give up, no matter what challenges you are facing. You are strong and brave, and you will get through this.
