Today started out great and continued till tonight, after dinner. I end up having one of my symptoms/signs that a seizure could soon happen. Good news is nothing has happened and I took a Valium to help stop the symptom. Now this meant no gym tonight. This mentally hurts. I have to keep reminding myself that this is all a mental game that requires baby steps. These things are going to happen. I mean this is a horrible cancer in my brain that I’m fighting. As long as all goes well for the rest of the night then I’ll be right back on my feet tomorrow and at the gym. Right where I belong.
Back in June 2006, the summer before my senior year of high school I started this rollercoaster ride and was diagnosed with Leukemia. Then fast forward two years of treatment with chemo and a few hip surgeries including having both my hips replaced. I still managed to graduate high school in 2007 while fighting cancer and treating. I took 2 years college tuition as my make a wish and determined right there that I was going to beat cancer and be a college graduate. But little did I know that I was going to have another fight with cancer in the form of brain tumor come May 2013. A Grade II astrocytoma to be precise. I ended up having to put college on the back burner to fight this battle and I came out on top again. Now what brings me to why I'm starting this blog. I recently managed to fulfill my dream and graduated college on May 9th 2018. Unfortunately only to find out the very next day that my tumor had come back and appeared to be a higher grade.
