I really didn 't understand why the people in my life started to treat me way better now that they knew i had cancer. If only they had cared about me like this when i wasnt sick. I woke up this morning feeling perfectly fine, i mean after all i had been going to chemotherapy for the past 4 months, but I felt fine, even though i wasnt. " How do you feel? Do you need any of your medicines?" Shouted my mom. " um no I actually feel pretty fine today" i replied. " call me if you need anything, i was waiting for you to wake up so that i can go grocery shopping" she said as she shut the door behind her. I got up & made myself some breakfast & took a shower to start getting ready for the day ahead. As i walked out …show more content…
I asked what happened & it turns out that the day the doctor called, he wanted to put me on stronger medication. But we never went, so i had some complications. The same day he called, my mom came home from the store & found me laying on the floor, unconscious & callled 911. Turns out i was in a coma for 5 days now. The whole "Christmas party " had just been like a dream. I knew it was too good to be true. I knew no one would go through all that trouble to see me happy. Everyone lost hope after the 2nd day i was in a coma because of the state of health i was in. Which explains why my mom & the nurse were the only ones by my side as I opened my eyes. They were the only ones who didnt lose hope throughout those 5 long never ending days. It was about 9 pm when all that commotion happened, & the doctors wanted to keep me in the hospital to make sure nothing happened so i stayed in the ICU that night. I woke up in the middle of the night, i had this feeling in me that this was the end. No matter how hard i tried to fight these thoughts going through my head, i just couldn 't. I dont blame myself either, because i had been strong enough to fight this battle for quite some time now, but i knew that eventually this battle was going to end. So i decided to write my mom a letter. " Mom Im so sorry, i know this will probably hurt you the most but i cant do this anymore, ive been fighting for a while now …show more content…
After i signed "your little angel" my body felt 10 times weaker & my eyes were shutting. That is when i knew everything was over. The next morning i was up, but i woke up in the waiting area. The excitement that i felt, knowing i would probably go home was overwhelming! I had mever been this excited to go home. At least i thought i was going home. I saw my mom run past the waiting room with tears in her face & run inside a room that was occupied with someone in there. I was kind of lost at first, why didnt she run to me ? Why did she run to the room? I ran after her & as i ran in i saw her on her knees on the side of the bed. " who else could be in the hospital?" I thought to
You get the picture. Personally, I think that the candy made up for all of the pain. It was three days before I was released from the hospital. Suddenly, I flashed back to
She called my mother and told her that she needed to bring me in soon because I was not looking healthy. She was scared that I might have cancer and then it hit me. All I thought about was the past month and how all of these events
As I slowly walked over to where my mom was sitting I dreaded the conversation that was about to happen. As soon as she handed me the phone I said “hi” and after a long silence I finally heard my father’s booming voice through the phone. “Hey sweetheart, I’m sorry to hear about you and your boyfriend.” When I heard this I couldn’t help but fight back the tears. Crying was never acceptable so I already knew better then to let him hear me cry.
Tomorrow is the day that my family and I go to North Carolina to meet my dad’s sister that he has never met. Everyone is really excited that the whole house is going crazy. In the Rosenboom house hold you can never get any peace and quiet other than when everyone goes to bed because my younger brother, Mason, and my two younger sisters, Maddie and Brooklynn, are little fireballs full of energy. Everyone already has their bag pack and they are all ready to go, but I can’t find anything to wear for the next week. So I had to have my older sister, Marika, help me find some clothes
My childhood and my innocence came crashing down when my dad told me the worst sentence that I’ve ever heard in my life, “Your mom has cancer”. There is nothing, no amount of mental or physical pain you can inflict me with, that could compare to what I felt in that moment. My dad gave us the news after my mom was taken to the hospital in the middle night because she could not breathe. So while we were hoping for her to breathe safely, we get hit with an even worse situation. I was a mess.
It was chilly and the winds were powerful on this winter day, snow was covering the trees and the ground, it was a beautiful sight of a winter wonderland. We are on our way to the James Center, where I 'm receiving my treatment. A month ago I got my results back saying the cancer had spread to my lymph nodes and I would need to start chemotherapy. When Dr. Janelston told me the news I was so nervous because I didn’t know what to
Once I woke up I had to tell the doctor to contact my family. I told them to call my
My parents were always there to make me feel as strong as I could, but even we could not change the negativity of my extended family. This constant differentiation led to me leading a life of apathy, with the world moving on without me. The world and everyone in it would take one step forward while I moved a few steps backwards. And then
My senior year, my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was given six months to live since she refused to take chemo and radiation. At that time, I was a teenager, recently kicked out of my house by my stepfather at the age of 16. Let me explain, I was at work, I had done nothing wrong it was my sister who he was mad at, but I paid the cost of her actions. My mother stayed there with him leaving us to our own device.
1) Please share an experience of a traumatic event or dynamic that you, or someone else, experienced. Last year my uncle died of cancer. The past couple of years he has been battling cancer, it was tough to see him go but I’m glad he’s not suffering anymore.
I say I can hear my mom crying in the bedroom, she usually does this on a daily basis but today it is more than usual because my father died on this day. Today marks four years since his death, I still feel guilty for it. I was in the car with my dad when it occurred and I couldn 't do anything to solve it or help him but I still tell myself I could have done something. Sniffling my mother responds, “Yes Meghan?”
This has been hard but I promised Prim that I will try my hardest. I’m not going to give up, I can’t. I need to win for Prim, my mom, and for you. I think about what would have happened if we would have run away together, sometimes I wish I would have. I wonder if we would have gotten away with it and been able to survive, but then I think about our families.
Its now approximately 5 a.m. and while I was waiting for labor an delivery the E.R. nurses examined me. I was already at 8 cm 's so I 'm there thinking "Oh my God" I 'm not going to make it up there because all I wanted to do was push. Finally what seemed to be the longest 5 minutes of my life they transported me up to my room. The whole way up I just kept saying " I need to push,I need to push"!
My name is Emily and this is my story. My story is no different then the typical teenager except for one thing I have terminal cancer. My type of cancer is called Acute Lymphatic Leukaemia (ALL) it occurs when there is an overproduction of immature white blood cells. It all started when I was 12 that’s when I found out I had ALL.
Because depression doesn’t bring flowers, cards, and covered dishes. If it were cancer, I would be allowed to be worried. Instead, I’m told not to worry. Everyone goes through ups and downs. Everyone gets depressed.
