After a month of being hospitalized I am back!
It started in early december, where I was throwing up alot, I went to the hospital 5 times each time they kept blowing me of pretty much stating that I have a nasal infection, but it got worse. After Christmas When we went to see them for the last time it was a saturday the doctor said I can finnally get a cat scan on Monday when they are in... Unfortunitly I never made it to Monday.
Sunday night I guess my girfriends father carried me down a flight of stairs and to the hospital, where they called in a doctor to give me a catscan.
It was funny I guess, fuckin' nurse let a lady with what appearred to be a cold go first, I guess ambers dad almost took a fit, lol. I was totally incoherent at the time.
Once the results came back, they found out that I had a tumour the size of a tennis ball in the back of my skull which was putting pressure on my spine. This happened on PEI. They wanted to airlift me by Helicopter (dammit!) but I guess it was to foggy (fuck sakes!) So they took me by ambulance to the Halifax Nero Surgeons Hospital which is 3 hours away. They actually cut me open in the ambulance to drain and releive the pressure on my head They told my girlfriend not to be in the ambulance just in case I died along the way. Which I think was smart. Can't remember it anyway lol. All the doctors looked at me like I am some kind of walking miracle.
My parents live on the other side of Canada so they arrived about 2 weeks later from gathering funds for plane tickets.
I had tubes everywhere.. lol. They told amber that I'd be a vegetable most likely for the rest of my life.. Like that was going to happen..
So Radiation starts today at 1, for 25 sessions, excludong Sat. Sun. So little over a month.. Then I may have to start Kemo, which I dont mind,
