lifes being a cancer patient (part 2)

seriously, having cancer is so much betta than having chemotherapy. though is quite suffering b4 treeatment, not just constant coughing, and hard to sleep at nite(imagine can oni sleep in sitting position), but all these do not really matter, coz it does not makes her feel sick. the treatment that makes her feel sick, due to the side effects of the drugs that makes her nausea, feel like vommiting. a total of 12 treatments!!! thats equal having sick 12 times in 6 months, once every 2 weeks, now it balance back, coz she has not been sick for so many yrs, she believes this is wut we call "kharma", mayb is just not too fair to be healthy for so long. 

so the chemo is just like a drip, of coz the nurse must make a hole in somewhere on the body to let the drug flows in the body, how terrible it is to poke a hole once every 2 weeks just to make the drip. the health department realise how important this matter is, obviously they don wan to get sued by the patient, so they make a "brilliant" idea (dunno which "brilliant"person invented this "brilliant" product). they put this tube (which they call picc line) in to the blood vessel so the hole can stays there for a longer period. the gurl din realise how scary is this picc line b4 that, she thought is just like a normal needle jabbing and thats all, how naive, but is too late to worry now.

afterall, is just a little more than a needle jab, just that they also insert a line through the vessel on arm to the chest, the whole procedure is easy, but hurtzz! she din watch how the nurse do it, but the pain is really awful. 

 

nurse: "so here comes the stingy bit" (the needle pokes in)

gurl:   " (AAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!)........"

nurse: " i m sorry sweet heart"

gurl:    " (yea, u gonna be real sorry!)  nah its ok....(kill me plz!!)

 

the line was in, and something on the arm to hold the line so it dosen pulls out easily, but it is rather robotic, the arm cant move freely and gotta wrap up everytime when showering, the place cant get wet no matter wut. the chemo goes on for 6 months, every tuesday become the "hospital day", no school obviously for tuesday and sometimes of the week. 

 

finally 12 chemos done, and her yr 12 ova too, anyway, the results is definitely disappointing, haiiz, no point gotta repeat a yr agen to do betta. gd news is the tumour was all cleared, pity that after all these she develop the so call "hospital phobia", due to this phobia she gotta reconsider the aim to study vet and become a doctor (veterinarian is oso a doctor evn though is bit differ).

afterall she is now living happily ever after.........(haha, who knows)

 

~the end~

 

for those who wonder who the gurl is, i tell u who she is is not important, just to tell others who has similar illness, not to give up!!!

the determination to keep this gurl doing all these, is actually the fear of death (is really scary), and for not disappointing those who support her and loved her. finally thanks to frens and family members of the gurl, all staffs in haematology deparment especially dr steve (though apparently he dosen do anything), the teachers in lynwood high and for anyone who helped and supported her.
