Hi everyone,
I wanted to share a bit about my journey. I’m currently undergoing treatment for blood cancer and while I’m trying to stay strong it hasn’t been easy.
The side effects from treatment have been tough to cope with. My body feels tired, sometimes aching, and it can really wear me down. Because of this I’ve had to pause my work and studies which has been very difficult for me. On top of that I’m also dealing with financial struggles since I came to Australia first to study and work. Right now I’m on a bridging visa waiting for my student visa to be approved which adds another layer of stress and uncertainty.
Being far away from my family makes things even harder. I miss them every day and sometimes the loneliness really hits me. There are moments when it all feels overwhelming with the health challenges the stress about visas and finances and the longing for home.
Thank God I have my partner and his family who are willing to help me with all of this. Their support means a lot to me during this time.
I know I’m not alone in this and that’s why I wanted to reach out here. If anyone has been through something similar I’d really appreciate any advice or just a kind word.
Thank you for listening to my story.
Thank you for sharing your journey. What you are going through takes incredible strength, and it’s completely understandable to feel overwhelmed with everything on your plate, treatment side effects, visa uncertainty, finances, and being far from family. It’s a lot for anyone to handle.
It’s wonderful that you have your partner and his family supporting you. Even small moments of kindness can make a big difference during such a challenging time. I also want to mention that some people in similar situations explore options for follow-up care or treatment abroad, and resources like PlacidWay can connect you with affordable medical services if that’s something you ever want to look into.
You’re not alone in this. Sending you warmth, courage, and strength as you keep going ❤️.
