My Experience With Cancer!!!

When I was 13 I was diagnosed with cancer and then my whole life was put on pause. I have been asked every day if I’m okay and the truth is that I don’t know I was just told I had to stop everything, even the one thing in the world that fills me up with joy and turns my whole life around. Right after i found out i had cancer i have been poked with more needles in that week than i have ever been in my life.

I have now started my third round of chemo and I’m more tired and I don’t have an appetite. I’ve been eating less and sleeping more. There is always a nurse who comes in every hour to check in on my and to get my vitals. But it’s so boring sitting here every day doing nothing but watching tv,

I feel like finding distractions is a key factor in passing the time, my distractions are drawing, listening to music, watching tv, talking to friends. Anything to keep your mind thinking of other things other than chemo and being stuck in a hospital bed.

All the nurses are really nice. They always make sure that I’m doing alright. Sometimes it’s different people but a face or two will stop by that you know. It’s really fun when they stop by to check in on you, you get to joke around and they just put a smile on your face and make you laugh even if you feel sick and out of it.

But what really brightens up my day is when my friend randomly texts you and asks about your day. It brings a smile to my face knowing that they’re thinking of me and putting in the effort to contact me during the day. It’s even better when they face-time you just to make you laugh and to see you, getting to see your friends faces even if it’s on a screen is the best part of my entire day. Getting to see them smile and laugh almost brings me into tears because of how much I miss them.
