During my treatment I was given three types of chemo. all of them made me sick, but the bleomycin was by far the only one that caused me ALOT of pain. This next blog post is a reflection of how the bleo reacted with my body.

By then end of the first week of treatment I was very unwell. This next blog post I wrote was about my last day of the first week of treatment, and how happy I was that I did not have to go back for another two days.

As chemo progressed, my health and well being deteriorated. I got sick, quick!

The next set of blogs that I wrote are a candid account of what my experience with chemo therapy was like. My body did not handle it very well at all. I believe in my heart of hearts that doing chemo was almost like spiritual enlightenment because when I recovered I was new person, my outlook changed completely.

Sorry Jan. I completely mis-understood what was written in your first comment. My thoughts and prayers are with you approaching surgery and treatment. Joshua

It was something I did often back then, so to speak. I can tell you now though that I have since then let all of that go and confessed my secrets to those that I kept them from :). After I finished treatment I let alot of things go. I have been given a new lease on life and it feels great! It was so frustrating and upsetting when they changed the dates, its not like changing the date for a work meeting or family gathering, it is changing the date of what will be the rest of your life in a way, but I have done the treatment now and I have recently been given the all clear so it does not matter anymore. It must be difficult knowing that the resources the doctors need to perform your husbands surgery are not at hand. It is much the same here in Sydney, there is a lack of oncology units and patients are crammed in at every hospital waiting for treatment. Chemo effects everybody differently, my side effects were felt almost as soon as I started treatment, so your friend might be lucky, but some side effects won't come on until after a certain period of time. Like life, treatment is also unpredictable and positive thoughts are a must. Your support is greatly appreciated, and may I return it to you with my support. I hope everything goes well with your husband's surgery and your treatment goes well, and if ever you need to talk, or want to ask me something please NEVER hesitate to get in contact with me.
All my positive thoughts to you today,
Joshua

As I mentioned in my last post, I was most vulnerable before I started treatment. I wrote this blog in what I believe to be the most chaotic time during my journey with cancer. Vivid dreams were often something that occurred on my journey. Enjoy folks

While I was waiting to start treatment I began to feel more vulnerable. This blog post I wrote and the next one were a good reflection of this. It is amazing what having cancer can do to you emotionally and mentally.

It's funny how you remember so much about your past when you have been diagnosed. You remember the good, the bad, and the ugly. The memories although bad, they are good to have, because it makes you who you are. Cancer can be rough, but for me it has been a blessing, and having it has shaped me into the person I am today.

After my operation, when I was waiting to do chemo therapy. I had to have blood tests every week for about 5 weeks. During that period, when I was visiting the oncologist, they told me that there was a slight chance that another tumour was growing. I tell you what, it will cause anyone sleepless nights when they are already dealing with just being diagnosed.
