7 down 2 to go

The things I have learnt in the past 9-10 months have been the biggest teacher of my life. When i was diagnosed I was 21 years, just turned 22 a month ago. In this one year I have got the biggest shock of my life, felt crippled, didn't know how to react, have been in terrible pain which would last sometimes from 6-7 hours continuously, have had days when didn't eat anything at all. Have heard my mother crying in a corner so that I couldn't hear any of it. Have my father get me anything at just one mention, ya he is the same man who once told me beta you should learn to save.

I have been quite low since my last dose of chemo and what makes me even more depressed is the two more to go but if i put it the other way - JUST TWO MORE TO GO FOR FREEDOM TO BE MINE- sure it makes things easy. 

A thousand people would want to be your friends if you are a success story, it takes courage to stand by someone who is falling. I just want to thank everyone who has been by me in this tough time. My doctor once said to me Geetika you are lucky you are up from death bed, we just saved you at the right time, I believe there is a reason for this for sure.  

C is for...

There is a reason for my blog to be called the dreaded word because during my 8 months of struggle and a bit of which still goes on and I guess will always go on we are all so scared of even mentioning this word and are so confident with the fact the whole world can have it but not me. This 6 letter word when out of nowhere happened to me happens to change my life forever. It is spelled as CANCER!

We will never understand the problem of other people till we face something similar.Sometimes we get stuck in a tight place, the walls around are nothing less than that of an asylum where in words of a doctor or psychiatrist a mad person is kept - have u thought what that person has ever gone through.

Suddenly from nowhere everything goes against you, it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer,never give up then, for that might be exactly the place and time things might take a turn for you.
