Today is my 2-year chemotherapy anniversary – this is what treatment’s really like | UK | News
This week, a nurse described me as “as” and “an absolute legend”. A doctor said that anyone who makes 45 cycles folfox (the spread of unrapared cancer and the chemotherapy regime that enables me to keep the death in the Gulf) said that it looks best in the best way. Thanks to the long -term effects of chemotherapy, I am not sure “best” when I have a large pink face, osteoperosis, problems with my veins, and other problems, but I’m going to get a compliment these days. And today, while marking the second anniversary of the first chemotherapy session, I look at everything that has occurred in the last two years.
I remember my first chemotherapy session, where I can take the feeling of my throat here, and I can struggle to breathe when one of the kemo drugs slowly dripped into my veins. I remember feeling good enough to order pizza with a package service after treatment, but I feel very sick to eat when it comes 45 minutes later. And I remember that I have revealed that my first scanning results and my body and drugs are united in every way to fight against cancer. In 2005, as a journalist, it made me feel better than getting my first page.
As far as I know, a long hard slog that will never end, because the real end will be lowered to a hole on the ground. But I have the task to complete it before this happens.
The same nurse told me that my health was the most important thing. I don’t want to encounter a guest on the invalid Jerry Springer show, but “I’m begging to differentiate”.
The most important thing for me is that it has an impact on the world even in a small way, so it is a better place when I take my last breath.
Making the world better is much more important than my health. For years, I wondered what it would include and how to do it. And I wondered if my life would be worth it.
And now, as a person who always depends on the courtesy of foreigners, I know that I need the support of each one who reads it to achieve my goal.
In The Daily Express, we carry out a cancer care campaign to ensure that all cancer patients have access to mental health support during and after treatment.
This should be widespread throughout the country, but unfortunately not and NHS, you need to help you send a message to the government and hospitals, it is unacceptable.
Cancer is the hardest thing that most people have to face, and the most challenging lice is the mental health aspect – whether you have dark thoughts at 3 in the morning, or you will not be alive to see your friend walking in the corridor. And the most difficult lice is the part that most people will only encounter.
We need your help to change this. By signing the petition, you will put pressure on the government to ensure that all cancer patients have the right support. And you will make the world a better place than you first breathe.
