Cancer treatment
Surviving cancer, another monumental accomplishment in my life, but without the help of my doctors, what would it mean? Not much, but I have learned to depend on professionals to keep me alive. I am wondering what else I have to go through to attain a semblance of normalcy in my life. The radiation treatments started out fine with no pain and I was thinking this is easy. My doctor guaranteed she would rid me of the cancer and I wanted very much to believe her diagnosis. She was right and I have been cancer free to this day. After two weeks of treatment, my throat started to hurt and continued to get worse, till the point where I could no longer swallow without pain. At this point, I could only drink milkshakes for sustenance. So after weeks of having a weak immune system due to the radiation and my high sugar diet, I developed diabetes. I am asking myself, what could be next? Well there were worse things to be discovered down the road, but at least this was type two diabetes and was easily treated with medication. Enough for today.
