CLINIC VISIT ON 31ST OCT

 I went to my appointment. Had bloods. Waited for the doc to come and see me. We discussed what would happen after I didn't receive the last chemo. The reason for that was it was damaging my kidneys. I was quite upset about this, due to not having that final closure about my treatment ending. It was the only way to go though, which wasn't too bad since the PET scan could give me that finality of my treatment being over. We discussed which meds I could come off of. She gave me different dates to stop most of my meds. Then I had to do more waiting around to get my dressing changed, and my anxiety was kicking in cuz I HATE waiting around. I can be patient, but I get tired of waiting every time. The nurse came and apologised, which was super cool. They couldn't find the proper equipment for changing my dressing. It took literally five mins and I was able to go home. 

Thanks for reading.

RINGING THE BELL

 Hey guys, Ringing the bell was a special experience for me. It was all about celebrating how far I'd come as a survivor of cancer. I got to the hospital and in the waiting room I was waiting for my sisters and brother and nieces. I wore a pink dress as pink is the main colour that represents cancer. I had to read a poem and got a certificate. I rang the bell and everyone cheered. Then I took a whole bunch of pictures with my siblings and mom and nurses. It was really exciting to get to do this as I have been waiting for so long. Now it's on to the next chapter of my life. I'm grateful for everything the nurses and doctors did for me so I could get a clean bill of health. I went home so proud of achieving this moment, which I'll remember forever.  That's all I've got for now. Enjoy.  Vote. Comment. Share.

BEING HOSPITALISED FROM 8TH TO 14TH OCT AND 19TH TO 21ST OCT

 Hi my amazing readers, Long time no see. I ended up in hospital cuz I wasn't feeling too great. I kept sleeping and my whole body was on fire. The pain was crazy. I went in and was admitted straight away. I was put on IV Paracetamol, fluids, had blood transfusions, had some medication for my sore mouth. Basically I had the full shebang. I had to be hooked up to machines, which wasn't fun, it was like Linc the Sink in Prison Break all over again. Remember when he was in the electric chair? I hated it, but it was making me better. I had to be moved to a bigger bay area where I had to share with another girl, I didn't talk much cuz I didn't want to get too attached. It's sad because you don't know what could happen to a person on your ward. I was constantly sleeping due to being on Amitriptyline, This is a medicine, which knocks you out so essentially it takes away all your pain. Then I had this jap called Deltaparin, which stops you from getting blood clots. The ...
