Her Blood Is Evaporating

she had to go to the doctors today
they called me in the morning,
because they knew the doctors would take forever

so she went to the doctors today
to get blood
she apparently needed a few pints

so I even asked after the fact:
she didn’t cut herself, she’s not bleeding
why does she need more blood?

and I couldn’t get an answer
I know the cancer’s made her weak now,
but it’s not like her blood is evaporating

all I know is than when she needs blood
she feels very tired, lethargic
and she has more energy with more blood

so I wonder: is the cancer actually
destroying her blood so she needs more?
and will she have to do this until she dies?
