Astatine’s rarity may
save us from cancer

You come from the decay of others,
radioactive destruction in your wake.
One of the rarest elements on earth,
you’re so unstable, but a part of you,
Astatine-211, may weakly penetrate
cancer cells. Could this rare element
have saved my mother, before cancer
took her away forever—
