Chemotherapy can only do so much, Either lose a limb or lose it all. The hand on the pillow looks mummified, But still elegant as it was in life.

You're attending a funeral for thyself Even tough you've extended your own life! You're attending a funeral for thyself 'Cuz a piece of you has literally died!
