Hi, let me tell you a little about me... {also check out my blog}

When I knew that I had to have surgery, I was scared. I didn't know the mortality rate (or even what that word meant), I didn't know if I'd be alive, come out with some mental thing. When it did happen it was alot better than I thought. I felt like I could think a lot clearer, after the surgery. We went to target and I realized that I could think better. We had about a month break and then, on the third day of school, for me, we started radiation and that was 32 sessions of radiation. Radiation is like this thing where I have to lay on this table, they have to fit me with a mask. It's like really tight on my face so I can't move it so they can get into my head with radiaiton to kill off any remaining cancer cells. At that point during radiation I had to take 1 chemo pill at home.

I felt really bad. I had stomach pains on the 2nd round, I threw up, I lost some weight. Sometimes it's hard to sleep, not much anymore, now I sleep pretty much thru the night. I was off for about another month after that and then I had an MRI, I hate those. It looked fine, some scar tissue, other then that it looks fine. They just want to keep on eye on it. I have another one in February. I just finish my 3rd round of chemo and have to have 5 days on and 23 days off for about 6 more months. After that I think I get off of it. They have to keep checking with MRI's to make sure it doesn't come back. They check my blood and make sure my white blood doesn't get low. Cancer to me means it's like a parasite, that sort of thing to me cause it usually makes a tumor that sucks away blood that feeds on you. It's not good if they catch it late, if early your most likely to be in the clear.

I don't feel real good today, I just finish my round. Ive been going to school sometimes But I have a computer from the school so I can video chat and keep up with my school work. I lost some hair with the radiation. About 2-3 weeks into it I just noticed that if I put my fingers thru my hair I'd get clumps out. The doctors ususally say everything looks good. I have Glioblastoma Multiforme grade 4. I just know that it grows rapidly they have to keep giving me MRI's through out my whole life cause it's probably going to come back, slight chance it won't. Raditon is completely done. If it comes back I will have to have radiation but I'm trying to do it so if it does comes back then we can go down to Indiana or if it comes back after 2012 when the protron radiations in the Beaumont Hospital in Detroit we can just go there. The proton radiation has almost no side affects not as bad as the iozonime radiation plus with ioz radiation one of the side affects is you can lose up to 5-10 IQ points, and there no hair loss.

Best case, it's made me not want to be a doctor which I thought I might. I've always been liking sharks and that kind of stuff. I want to be a marine biologist or work for Mircosoft, I like Xbox360. Worst case, they could find blood cancer. My blood is looking fine, I dont think that will happen I would probably do crazy stuff like shark diving. Spend my money shark diving and travel the world, Germany, Ireland, Japan. I would like to spend more time with family and travel with some family.
