oh nineeee...

Ahh, I graduate this year. :)
I still haven't been back to school and I won't be able to go back at all but whatever. It doesn't bother me as much as i thought it would. Sure I'm missing out on all the cool senior stuff but I'm also getting a whole different experience at the same time, it's not always a pleasant experience but nonetheless an experience in itself. So it's a give and take type thing.

I didn't start treatment til November 11th-ish. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I developed pancreatitis and couldn't eat for about three or four weeks. Yeah, Thanksgiving wasn't that fun haha. I was feverish for the first week or so which was probably the worst part. I felt so shitty and one of the nurse practitioners wanted me to get up and walk and oy vey... it was a pain. But I know she was just looking out for the best of me. Day by day I started feeling myself again. By the first week of December I was full blown me again and it felt good.

The doctors and nurses there are pretty chill and laid back. Some are crazier than others but you learn to love it. It's really easy to get along with most of the residents. A lot of them will make really great doctor, doctors one day, you know what I mean haha. I would say who my favorites are but I don't want anyone to get jealous.

The plan for the rest of my treatment goes as followed:
Bone marrow biopsy/Surgery (getting rid of the gallbladder) on Thursday
Chemo sometime after that
then the big one... the Transplant....can't wait....no really, I can't. As much as I love being with the docs and nurses, I really just want to get on with my life and get better and get back into the swing of things. I know my life won't be the same after treatment and I'm prepared for that. I just want to be done!...and alive!
