All in All

+ OMG I have cancer. I still cannot fully digest it. People call to console my mother 24/7 and I get this feeling why are they over reacting its just cancer (like its the flu). Then I remember how I felt when a family member was diagnosed with it and it hit me CANCER is a deadly disease. A shattering destroying energy drenching disease. Yes I FourMe a 29 year old in love with life am a Cancer patient. I tell u even if I repeat it a million times I cannot believe it.. Its honestly ra7ma mn Alah that when u have it you cannot acknowledge it because if you do it will destroy you.

+ Today for the first time in 3 weeks I took a shower by myself. For the past weeks mother has to bathe me everyday because either am too dizzy or my cuts haven't healed yet and I cannot move freely. Do u know how humiliating it is to be naked in front of your mother at this age!?

+ Since I started chemo I cannot eat chicken, meat, or anything sweet. As well I don't eat seafood so its safe to say I'm becoming a vegetarian :( I feel sick to my stomach at the sight of them.

+ I'm Stage 4 Hodgkins Lymphoma. The tumour is in lower right muscle in back, lymph nodes in neck, nodes going through my chest, diaphragm, liver, right thigh, and damaged hip bone around the muscle where tumour is. Bone marrow results come out next week and inshallah ya rab its negative. They say I have 80% survival rate but they can give all percentage they want it won't matter, its all in God's hands.

+ My knees and feet are swelling up and doctors say that's rare! Yes because I'm a rare girl!! I get a disease that hits 2 people out of every 100,000 and the rare sides effects.. Alf il7amdillah honestly il7amdillah because I know it can be worse. I can't drink anything cold or room temperature because I get pain in my abdomen. I think its cause my liver isn't functioning well. Well that's enough blah blah talk for today..

+ Oh no one more thing, the anti-steroid pill yesterday almost gave me a heart attack. My heart was jumping out of my neck the veins could be seen a mile away and mother had to force feed me while I was literally falling asleep in her arms. I guess the food absorbed some of the meds effects and it knocked me out till this morning.. And on this note I bid you good night my lovelies as I have to go and take that medicine again....

When you said it's all in God's hands, you reminded me of something. They say that cancer is caused by this and that, but is it really?! How come some of us get affected by "this and that" while others dont?! i dont know, it doesnt make much sense to me.. Maybe one day?!

Anyways, what i remembered is a story i heard on tv YEARS ago.. About this woman who was diagnosed with cancer, she was being treated but she only got worse. Then one day, the doc told them it's a matter of time b4 she leaves the world. She got into the car totally depressed, and slept. Her husband and his friend who were with her, were talking. She was awake but kept her eyes closed. 6ab3an they had no idea! So, the friend was like, what r u gonna do? u know she's gonna die soon, and u need to move on! The husband's response was "i've already moved on, i met a girl and i'm waiting for her to die to move the girl in with me.. blah blah blah" .. she's been listening all the time, but didnt let them know. As soon as they got home, she acted as if she just woke up, got off the car, said bye to them. As soon as she went into the house, she called a locksmith, changed the locks.. pulled whatever strengths left in her, threw his stuff out of the house, waited for him to come and then told him she's filing for a divorce. She decided she's gonna live what's left of her life with dignity, so, she changed her life style, took more care of herself.. and a month later, she was cancer free..!!

IT'S ALL IN OUR MIND! This only shows that within the 98% of unused brain "powers" , healing ourselves is a tiny part of that!!

Good luck girl.. you'll do it..!! or else how r u gonna get ur harry winston, or was it graff? or u know what, both, jewellery and "rings" :P

80% Survival rate is just amazing news my dear walla I was sooooo happy when I read this! :)

I know this is not easy. I can not beging to imagine what you are going through.

I know that asking you to keep high spirit and be strong and optimistic is easier said than done. But keeping it positive will take your survival rate to 120% guaranteed!

I don't know you but I read your blog yesterday and I could not sleep thinking about what you are going through. I pray with all my heart that god cures you. We are here for you and we are not going anywhere :)

By the way you are doing all of your readers a huge favor by blogging about your experience. You are giving all of us a wake up call making all of us appreciate what we have and think about what really matters in life.

I thank you for that with all my heart :*

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight."
Proverbs 3:5-6

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."
Deuteronomy 31:6

But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. "Do not fear what they fear ; do not be frightened."
Take Courage
1 Peter 3:14

... say to those with fearful hearts, "Be strong, do not fear; your God will come, he will come with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to save you."
Isaiah 35:4

Amen

Q8othug said...

we all go through the five stages of grief. i have seen it with my loved one and experienced it myself even though i was not the one dying :/

dear, its important to know on which stage you are in and try to end the cycle. but you have to know that the cycle never stops( i see you have already gone through it many times by reading your posts from day 1)

no amount of science and psychological mumbo jumbo would ever make it better but maybe, just maybe if you what are feeling it might help you to deal with it better.

stay strong dear we are here for you.

== i dont know u but i know the following;

== u have a strength that doesnt exist in a lot of people, i dont have cancer or any disease but i found it hard to get up from my bed every morning and most of the time i cries on my way to college. no one could imagine how depressed i am, no body knowes .. i keep falling with helping myself

== some nights i sleep after i prayed for myself that something bad will happen to me during my sleep, most of the time i prayed to have cancer .. last week i went to register myself as a donner for my organs after death ..

== if i had ur strength, my life would be different

== i am happy for u becuz i know that u will be cancer free in a short time, becuz of ur strength ..
