Ramblings

How do you cope day in and day out with this? There is no manual that teaches you how to behave or how to act or how to accept it. You have to go through it blindly just taking it one day at a time.

People think by asking you 24/7 how you feel will make u feel better not knowing its just like rubbing salt in a wound that they're constantly reminding you of. How do feel 2 hours after they asked the first 10 times? I feel the same, I have no energy, I still have cancer, and N0 I cannot be upbeat about it.

How can you when realistically you know its a deadly disease?! Yes inshallah I will get cured but do you know I'm at risk of heart attack, lung failure, kidney failure, blood clots, zero immune system and shit load of other things! Not forgetting that there is a chance its not curable and death is inevitable after a long tortuous journey. I'm not being negative I'm just facing what I'm dealt. Yet still knowing its possible my hair will fallout, eyebrows and eyelashes terrifies the fuck out of me.. Its scary.. Yes might not happen and might happen..

Every 2 seconds I get a scare from a new side effect and its just been a week not 6 months! I'm getting a pain in the lower part of my head now, they already MRI'd my head and it was clear. But if this pain doesn't subside in 2 days I have to go back for more testings. Ya rabi 1 thing at a time I beg of you. Ma feni at7mal kil youm khar3a kafy 3alay lal7en madri 3an el bone marrow ely mo rathy y6la3 elresult which btw I have a feeling it already reached..

I dunno what the fuck am saying anymore. This is way T00 much to digest. La 7awla wla quwata ela billah el3aley el3atheem..

facing reality or wht ur dealt with slight pessimism might not be the best thing... they always say nis il marath el nafseya.. wela nafseyat;hom zaina recover faster.. so focus on the positives even though they seem minimal


focus on the fact that u hav a loving family
focus on the fact that ppl are there for u
focus on the fact that you are a strong girl and u always have been.. a disease shouldnt shatter that
focus on the fact that ur gonna kick this diseases ass

dont focus on the disease or the results or whtever! their not important right now


stay strong;*

May all beings everywhere plagued with sufferings of body and mind quickly be freed from their illnesses.

May those frightened cease to be afraid, and may those bound be free.

May the powerless find power, and may people think of befriending one another.

When I go thru something, I don't like ppl to tell me to stay positive, to think of the good things. Cuz I know i won't. I don't need ppl to tell me i can do it. I know what i'm capable of and I know HOW powerful i am. All i want is someone to listen to me. A shoulder to cry on. Someone I DARE to be myself with, a vulnerable mess.

Strength
Quran
Love
Therapy
Blogging
Talking
Reading about survivors
Crying

Do what you need to do. We'll be the shoulders you cry on. We'll listen. We'll be there. I know that it doesn't change any outcome of your situation. Bss Allah sub7ana fogna.

Tara I read ur blog every day. You're an inspiration. You WILL surpass this. You WILL. It won't be easy but You will! If you want it, believe it! The mind is the most powerful thing bel denya. Remember that.

Lots of love;*

Hang in there! I know it is hard. My friend who went through chemo said it was worse part of it all. I've heard the worse it is the better it works so it really must be doing as it was designed to do with you.I don't have cancer but have lived with a chronic illness nearly my whole life and yes being asked how you feel makes you want to scream sometimes. I feel like sometimes all people see is the diease and not me?I hope tomorrow is a better day for you. :)
