Chemicals like that cisplatin, they aim for the fast-growing cancer, but they don't know how to stop at just that, da. They hit the delicate cells in the kidneys and the ears too, because those parts are also sensitive, like a thin clay rim before firing.
They told me that in the city hospital, but here, my reality is the saline drip and the ringing in my ears that started last week. The doctors here are doing their best, but they are stretched thin—sometimes the real damage is from how alone you feel when your body is breaking.
So I'd say the medicine attacks what's fragile, yes, but the worst of the damage comes from the silence that follows, from not having the right people or medicines to protect you when you're most vulnerable. It's like a pot cracking in the kiln because the heat wasn't watched—the flaw was in the process, not just the clay.
