Snake Oil

The Curious Elf is sat on the shelf
pushing its famous 'Snake Oil'.

The Cancer Food Mage is cooking with Sage, 
And wrapping it in tin foil.

Combining the two, 
He'll cure you, 
just as easy as pie.

It's really quite cheap,
So just take the leap
With a good swig for your pain.

No need to be told
'Low and behold'
The Elf is triumphant again.

John Frank Trent

I am living with Stage 4 lung cancer that has spread to my brain. These are my thoughts. It is a combination of serious articles and more light hearted stuff (like my ridiculous poems). Early articles are a bit heavy, but hopefully it becomes a little more light hearted! This is not a self help site there will be no advice on cancer related matters just my thoughts. Just for the record my name is Iain Trent, I am using the Blog name of John Frank because they are the names of my Grandads. I did not want this blog to jump up to anyone who searched for me so it is a way of providing some limited anonymity hopefully without being a catfish.
