Can anyone see the bald girl? Please comment /:

The candied coated over sugared phrases melted and seeped through the phone line congratulating me on my lymph nodes being 85% smaller, I couldn't help but want to be the cynical, humorous, bitch that I've know become. They were happy that I'm not going to die, at least they thought so. Most people who know me barely graze the surface of my utterly complex personality and way of being. They pick and choose the qualities of my top layer they find most appealing and then decide if I'm worthy to… Continue

Hair loss, Cancer, and Sadness. Please read and comment. Need encouragements

I'm honestly so sick and tired of not having cancer anymore, but also not having hair. I feel that now that the cancer is gone things should be normal again, but they're not. Things are far from normal. I feel ugly and weird and un-ladylike. I constantly get sympathetic stares from strangers and foreign glances from other teenage girls. I don't want to be a cancer teen anymore, because I'm not a cancer teen. I'm just not. I'm done its finished, when can I have my beautiful hair back?! When… Continue

Cancer sucks in so many ways

Though these past few days have been shared in blissful agony with my wondrous and ill-defined 'boyfriend', I suppose you could say, the dark cancer has been creeping back and seeping into our spells of happiness. On Tuesday another CAT scan is required from me. Though the actual process of the CAT scan is neither painful nor extraordinarily inconvenient, it's tedious and bothersome. Necessary? Yes? Annoying? Also an easy yes.

Now I'm not quite sure if all teenagers are like this but I'm… Continue

The Cure for My Cancer

And today I saw him. I really SAW him. I saw his hair, his jaw, his eyes, his voice, his stance, his hands, everything that he was, I saw. I've known him for a long time, but I've never SEEN him like I did today. I never realized that if you took all the autumn leaves and melted them that the color would match the color of his irises. Like God, or someone, decided to pour an entire season into his eyes. And I saw, when his eyes met mine, that he was the absolute cure for the sticky black… Continue

A Good Day

A good day while living with cancer is defined totally differently than a good day not living with cancer. The exasperation is a little less intense and the loneliness is a little bit less paralyzingly, if you're reading this please don't think this blog is going to be a place for me to whine, because it's not. I'm not a whiner. Anyway today was a good day. How could I let a perfectly beautiful and sunny Georgia day go to waste? Even though the selfishness of my cancer usually clouds my ability… Continue

Overcoming Cancer

There is a “C” word which upon hearing it can illicit any number of negative emotions. Whether you have been through it yourself, or know someone who has suffered with it, nine times out of ten you will know someone. There are at least 200 different types in the world, which just plain sucks. I have lost love ones to it myself in the past, and know at least part way of the grief it can bring.

But along comes one young man, aged 15, who has gone through it all, and come out…

Sitting by your side, powerless.

I sit by your side, I watch the drug that is poisoned flow into your veins, almost killing you, but saving your life.

A year ago I thought you were invincible, but now you look so weak. You might even die.

You sleep because that’s all you can do, and I watch you, because that’s all I can do.

Other patrons of the hospital are around us, death pushing in from all sides. I try not to stare, because I don’t want to see.

I try to laugh through it, pushing my way through the… Continue

Use Givoogle instead of Google!!

http://www.givoogle.com

I personally love using Google. It's my homepage, and I use it ALL THE TIME. So when I heard about Givoogle, I was thrilled. Basically, it's the same search results as Google, but by using it, you're helping raise money for the American Cancer Society. Sounds like epic win, to me.
