This was inspired
by my niece
after she'd had
her first
radiation treatment
for brain tumors
that has metastasized
from her breast cancer.

She became terribly ill
and almost died
from the swelling
right then.

This was her response
to me when I said,
"We thought we'd lost you."

"Never underestimate
my power to
heal myself.
