I need you all to LISTEN and HEAR what I am saying. Many of you seem to be missing a very valuable part.
Yes, I am POSITIVE I am
going to beat the cancer. THAT IS NOT WHAT THE PET SCAN RESULTS ARE ENTIRELY
FOR.I'm looking for my 5 year survival rate, friends. And don't tell me the
statistics are there to be broken. THEY ARE THERE FOR A REASON. So LISTEN TO
THE HARSH REALITY that I have had to face and hold my hand for the time we have
left together. Hopefully we have five years.
The survival rate is ABOUT
65% BUT GOES DOWN FROM THERE because
-
I have/had bulky masses
-
I have/had stage 4
-
I have/had type B
-
I have low white blood cell counts
-
I am anemic
About the only thing that
I have going for me is that I am below 45 years of age and not male.
I am not throwing in the
towel.
I am not telling you all
to no longer have hope. Please continue to have hope. But stop telling me to not look at statistics. They are there for a reason.
I just need you all to
realize that just because they get rid of the cancer, doesn’t mean my fight is
over.
My fight is far from
over. Fight or die.
It's a VERY harsh reality. I will see you Sat. I'm never going to take your time for granted. I have before and I will never again.
ReplyDeleteNo, it's not over. Anxious to hear how this PET scan goes and what it tells you and where you go from there. One brave, steady step at a time, lady. Looking forward to Friday whatever it may tell you.
ReplyDeleteOnce the chemo treatments stop, I would immediately start a naturopathic regimen to restore your immune system, etc. Just my 2 cents :) HUGS!!!
