Hmmm. This is interesting.
two time cancer survivor checking in.
Nearly well and truly killed me the second time...but I eill always beleive it was my shear will to win the battle that kept me going. I was a fit 80kg kid the second time round (18yo). Within two months I weighed 52kg(got back to 85kg and looked good with a healthy dose of prescription steroids in a few months but thats another story heh). And looked like I was done. That was members mo. Appetite was lost. Hair was lost. Self confidence? Forget it. Dignity? That was gone too. Isolated for three weeks while they killed my immune system, then the cancer, the luckily was able to re-instate my immune system with an autologous bone marrow transplant.
But I wouldnt have survived without it let's be honest.
I wasChee a 50/50 chance of survival, but was told a few years later by my professor that is was more like 10%.
Attitude it is said, is what won the battlsuffett was 12 years ago.
So if anyone has questions...I think im qualified to answer them.
Getting back to Fadi's OP...
Was it a helpful thing? In some ways yes. I grew up fast, and began to look at life very differently, but my life was hell for a long time. Makes you realise what is important and what is pointless in life.
Tim.
Kudos for staying strong and positive.
We have had many family members suffer from cancer lately so it's good to hear a positive outcome.
