laying flat
on the hard cold steel table waiting, waiting facing the inevitable technicians lining your body in position matching the tattooed black dots on the four corners where danger once existed watching, staring fearing alone in the sterile room over-sized metal disks rotate and roam slowly breathing in breathing out just slightly hold, hold, hold as the blue laser lines penetrate your naked breast marked with scars from the battle you continue to fight

Eva, thank you for your vulnerability in writing and sharing this piece. It drew me in right away, the mystery of what was happening in the first read. Then, it pulled me back in to read it a second time, and a third. Wishing you strength, hope, and health as you continue to battle this fight.

This was intensely raw and and dug deep as I read it over and over. Your choice of words like, "cold, hard steel" definitely depicted a place where we find ourselves both frightened yet comforted in healing. Blessings to you as you continue to fight.
