Today I'm a bit nervous. I have been talking to all my buddies. I had advice given to me by Dr. Kabak. She told me to make sure ask about a few things. When I go see the Oncologist Dr. Neugat, I have to ask him what kind of treatment, how long its going to be and what are the side effects. Dr. Su said make sure I bring my documents. I think I will be covered from all angles. Dr. Harvey advised to take some alternative treatments with the Chemotherapy. She recommends Qui Gong and acupuncture.
I just still can't believe that I have stage 3 B colon rectal cancer. I hope the treatment is not that bad. As usual I had my daily argument with my mother. She called up one of her friends to talk to me. I keep asking how many editions of newspaper did she sell. I spoke to Lenny one of my close high school friends. He has been pretty good and patient with me. Another of my friends from high school named Katy said I was being over dramatic about the situation. I said oh yeah did you even read about my condition? She was silent and didn't respond. I am thinking she didn't bother reading about the cancer. Katy explained to me that her coworker had chemo but it was for brain cancer. Her coworker "M" gets Chemo for one session and is drained for the next few days.It referring to chemo isn't that bad she mentions I said really in my head. I was like thinking man she really devalued my cancer in a few words. Katy seem to have the foot in mouth disease or maybe (ass) disease. Other than that she doesn't seem to be that bad. Katy has been supportive by all means. She asked if I was busy tomorrow but I said I was going to meet an oncologist. Katy offered to go but I already set up to go with my neighbor Liz. She has help me out with so much information.
I enrolled in an organization called cancercare.org. This organization has support groups, therapy and oncologist on staff. Cancercare.org with help me with financial aid and a place to stay after therapy.I am not sure about all this stuff. This cancer situation is a lot to take in I hope to do my best and conquer the cancer.
I shall definitely have a long journey to travel.
