General | Posted 2 years agoAnother Life Update.
General | Posted 4 years agoHey all,
Been hearing friends and family members been wanting an update. Far as things go I been doing alright. Mostly working and if not working just bored. Hard to find things to do to pass the time. Only can withstand so many games/movies/music/work while being trapped at home. Though been managing sometimes, Though lot of times I'm kind of going through my day spacing out a lot. Specially when not working since not knowing what to do. Not many people been to chatty since the whole lock down. So most the people I chat to online through discord been mostly quiet. Though I understand people do get busy and many things have been happening to everyone since beginning of 2020 basically. Far as financial stuff I'm ok, not hurting since working from home since last year. Though I have given money to friends and some family to try and help them out through the tough times. Since from what I have heard many are struggling through. Far as my cancer stuff, the cancer been gone, just getting an infusion so often. Which is to just try and prevent it from returning as there is always a 1%-5% chance it come back or another cancer may appear. As it is just a treatment, not a cure. Though I'm not really worried about it as not good to linger on such thoughts either all the time. Lingering on things like that are bound to make people go crazy or have more medical problems. As stress and anger can lead to many things far as medical. So not only decent or good health is required of the body, but also mind over matter as they say. Far as my infusions just got one in June and then like beginning of July roughly and they are finally done. Then its just taking time to get all my shots again from baby on up to rebuild my immune system. Other than that yeah things been going ok, just bored a lot of times, but trying my best to manage through. Also since its nicer out been going on walks with my two aunts and father on sundays to try and start rebuilding myself physically. As they did say it takes a lot out of you far as chemo treatments and takes time to recover. Also hoping in time to lose some of the weight I gained. I'm around 260lbs and I was 180lbs normally before the cancer struck. Idk if I'll get back to the 180 I once was, but I'll definitely like to get to 200lbs if possible. So yeah thats basically it at the moment. Don't know what else to say. I guess I noticed many of my online friends are slowly talking again since lockdowns in some places are slowly getting lifted. Though some are still pretty down and some are still struggling. I hope in time they will get things stable again and improve. Also things been going alright while living with my two friends. Though we sometimes get on each other about certain things, but as they say thats the fun living together as you truly dont know someone till you live with them.
Sincerely,
Dragovich

Another Update on My medical and sadly a passing
General | Posted 5 years agoHey everyone,
I hope all are doing alright and hanging in there. I know things been quite chaotic in last year and in the start of this new year. Many having ups and downs as time went. I just hope it was more ups then downs for yous. Far as for me I know it has been up and down. You guys know this by my previous journals as I been making them to keep you all up to date on my condition far as with when I was diagnosed with cancer. Which I just had another PET scan done on the 20th of this month. I know on inauguration day of all days. Which to me I guess it was nice as I was more worried about other things then what's going on in capital hill. The PET scan came out clean and still no cancer since my treatment back in March of last year. Still getting infusions here and there of the one drug to still help make sure it stays away for hopefully for good, but you know they can't promise that. Which I know they can't cause anything can happen when you least expect it that's for sure. Also all my blood levels and that are good still as well as they drew blood from me for labs. So all in all still good, only thing is somehow I gained some more weight. How I'm not sure, but I don't feel any fatter or look fatter then when I left the Hospital in March. Who knows, but I'm trying to get myself in the habit of exercising more. Though it is very challenging as I'm basically home alone, and its been proven that when you have someone you can exercise with your more prone to do it. So right now that is my biggest challenge and hurtle far as for me with my medical stuff and physical shape as the doctor did tell me that I was roughly 40lbs over what they recommend for me at my height far as weight.
On another note, which I hate to give bad news as we been through a lot in this past year. Sadly my step father passed away yesterday morning. No he didn't die from COVID, but from cancer. He was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer back in March last year, I didn't find out about it till July/August as my mother didn't want to affect me with my process in healing from cancer myself. Which weather it was the right thing or bad thing to do its all up to yous on what you think far as that as we all have opinions on things. He was doing alright at first with getting treatment for it, but as time went. The person he was staying with wasn't nice to him at all. Which why my step father and mother weren't together exactly at that time I don't know. I just know prior my step father and mother weren't really seeing eye to eye at the time as they had gotten in arguments and stuff. But yeah the guy my stepfather was living with was basically using him and didn't help him at all with his condition. So sadly my stepfather starved a lot and lost lots of weight. Do to that, they stopped giving him treatment for the cancer. So my mother took him back in to try and get him back up again, but I don't think my step fathers will to keep going was fully there anymore. So as time went on more and more his health declined. I will say it was hard seeing his health go down and become worse and worse. So it was definitely hard to see him loose more and more weight as time went. Loosing more and more function till he was basically laying in bed all day. Hospice had come in as well do to his situation, but hospice sadly wasn't the greatest. But we did our best to keep him at home so he wouldn't have to go alone in a hospital bed.
Also at one point do to the cancer his one lung had collapsed and made it harder for him to breath. They told us eventually his other lung would collapse and that be the end for him. So I tried my best for the holidays for sure to try and spend time with him and my family as I live with my two friends. It was hard to do as with my medical stuff I have to try and make up a lot of the hours I miss for work. It's definitely mentally exhausting and draining to try and make up the hours and do overtime as we have become busy with a good amount of work recently. But I went over late in the night on the 23rd this month to see my step father as my older sister, who is in the medical field, called me and told me to come over as she feared the worse. I went over and spent sometime with the family and did my best to help with my step father to the point I was there till like 1am in the morning before returning home to get some sleep. I woke the next day around 8am and was about to game with my friend a bit before he left for work. As soon as we started a game up my older sister called me again with tears and crying. She told me he had passed away at sometime between 5am and 8am in the night as she was giving him medicine every hour. I went over right away again to my family that morning speed out the door.
I got there and we waited for the hospice nurse to come over and confirm he was gone as he laid cold and still on the bed. She confirmed it and called the doctor and the funeral home. They came and got him and took him out of the house. Far as when the funeral day will be for him I don't know yet. But I do know its going to be rough as my mother and step father werent technically married, but were together for like 15 years easily. My little sister is his daughter so she is my half sister for those who want to be technical. We found out that they have to get ahold of next of kin and let them know. Now my little sister isnt the only one my step father had. He also has two sons that are older then my little sister. Sadly though we don't know what happened to them as they wanted nothing to do with us when I was around 10/12. But we are worried more about their mother and what she might do. As my step father is going to be cremated and my step brothers if they wanted to can actually take all of his ashes and not give any to my little sister as the home said they normal split the ashes if that is what is agreed upon. And the mother of my step brothers has come out and told us directly that she would do what she can to make things hard for my little sister if she can.
Which is sad that some has to screw with a child in order to try and be spiteful to the other they were with. As sadly children get caught in the middle of things like that more often then people realize. Which sadly I know all about that as my mother and father went their seperate ways, which made things quite rough and still do today at times. But we are afraid she might try to influence her sons to take all of my step fathers ashes from my little sister, to I guess.... I don't know how you would say it exactly, but to be cruel to my little sister.

Another update
General | Posted 5 years agoHey all,
Its been a good long while since I gave an update on stuff. Well to give all an update, I am around the half way mark for these infusions I been getting. Which again is just one drug once every three weeks. Which its looking to be around the July area to be finished with it all. Then after that I have to get all my shots back from baby on up for flus and such. That isn't done right off the bat. It be done in for shots far as all of them. Which if I recall they said one a month basically. So probably not going to be out and about yet still till like October/November area. They doctor at Hershey wants to do another PET scan in January around the 20th to make sure it hasn't returned and still all good. Which I know they are going to want to do PET scans for a good while even after all this is said and down. The only bad part about them really is just the time im not allowed to eat. So if its in the middle or end of day sucks, but manageable.
Also still working, just working from home still. As I can't go anywhere even before COVID, but that makes more so as well far as working from home right now. Other than that, things been going alright, just hard to find things to do. As one can only play games or watch movies so much before getting bored of them as well. Oh and the doctor told me that my B12 was at the low end of normal range, so they want me to take a 1000mg supplement everyday for six months. As they said that it helps combat the effects of the one drug they are giving me right now far as the numbness in the fingers and toes. Which they arent numb, just a weird feeling is all. So yeah I got to spend money for an over the counter supplement. Got to say at the end of this all I'm going to be glad when all the supplement and bills are over. As its all to help combat side effects or make sure to fight off viruses and such so I dont get sick since my immune system is compromised.
But yeah that is mainly it far as medical stuff really at this time. Far as work goes its going ok. Its picked up a tad bit, but still not the best as there are moments things are a bit slow, but understandable with all thats going on. Hopefully things will get better sooner then later. As nothing lasts forever weather its war, viruses or other things. Things always have a beginning and end. As such is life. Far as living with my two friends its going alright. Somedays we give each other a hard time and be cruel to each other in our own unique way, but things are going alright. Most the time I feel like im the freaking house maid a lot of times, bu tI been managing through. Guess I don't really complain about it much to them as its something for me to do awhile trapped at home, though some days you get tired of cleaning a lot to.

A friend in need
General | Posted 5 years agoHey all, I just wanted to further help my friend. They are in a very rough spot and dealing with a lit.
You can view their journal here that they posted:
https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/9621027/
I hope you guys can help them, though I know for many its not really easy to do so as many are struggling. So even if its spreading the word on their journal that helps too.

Little Update
General | Posted 5 years agoI know its been a good while since I posted an update here. So figured I probably should do so. Things are going alright, just yeah still have to get a drug once every three weeks as again that's not until June next year when that will end. Though its not super bad, just go in for like an hour then come out as the infusion only takes 30 minutes itself. I just have to pay attention to make sure I dont feel my fingers or toes go numb, but so far its alright. I just mostly have a weird feeling in the thumbs. Like I can still feel things, just if I closed my eyes and touched something with my thumbs I probably couldn't fully tell what I'm touching. Though the weird feeling is stronger when I touch like soft stuff. Like clothing or papers or other things of the like, which can be annoying sometimes far as that weird feeling, but bearable. I also have been working again since May of this year and things been ok with work as they are letting work from home due to the COVID stuff. Like yeah can't do any overtime unless there is an absolute reason for it, but I'm getting 40 hour weeks in, which is good. Also me and my two local friends have finally moved into a place together as my Friend was able to buy a house during the COVID stuff. Moved in like two or three weeks ago and its a pretty nice place. Probably a bit more room then we needed for the three of us, but hey I ain't complaining. As I was able to buy and get a proper desk to have both my personal computer as well as my work computer on it. Just so they all fit together with their two monitors and towers and my speakers for my personal PC. Also cause of moving we were able to get all my stuff that I had in storage that my mother gave to me over the years. So now that's definitely one less payment I have to make a month which was almost $140 a month. So that's cool that I don't have to pay that anymore. The neighbors seems pretty friendly so far. Though I only personally talked to the one couple more then the others. The retired couple next to us on the end of the row of houses we are in. They are very friendly and great to talk to. Though during the work week it feels pretty lonely in the house. Like yeah I see my one friend for like an hour or two before he goes to work as he works 11 to 730 and see him for a bit at night, but during the morning I'm working as my hours are 8 to 430. Yeah I know I'm a typical office hours person and I do work in an office. Then my other friend is a truck driver so he is basically gone from Sunday afternoon till Thursday night or Friday night. Depending on what runs he has to do for his job. So a lot of times feeling quite lonely as I don't even interact with those in my job much except by email really and its mostly work stuff. Other than that things have been going alright, just hard to find things to do at times, specially after work, since not many to interact with or much to do as this whole confinement thing is a pain. Specially since I been mostly doing even since the week of Christmas, or whatever holiday it may be to you, before this whole COVID thing. But yeah doing alright and trucking on the best I can.
Hope everyone has been doing alright as well and are staying safe the best they can or sane in this matter with lock downs and restrictions.

Hey everyone
General | Posted 5 years agoHey all,
I just wanted to point out a person in the fandom who is struggling. They are a SFW artist that loves drawing feral dragons. They are in a tuogh situation. I really don't know a lot or don't want to get into too much details, but things aren't looking good for them. They could really use a hand, even if its just spreading word or just sending them a few bits of cash to help them out. Though from what I know they might be on the streets soon. So please give them a look and check them out and if you want to know more information ask them as I don't want to talk about anothers personal stuff without knowing all the details and without their permission.
Here is the person in need of help

Another update
General | Posted 5 years agoWell wanted to give everyone another update on things and how they are going. Today I get a PET scan at noon to see if there is any cancerous cells still and as like a base mark before going under what they refer to as maintenance chemotherapy. Which is with that drug I talked about last time that I have to get once every three weeks. Which I will start receiving that drug on Friday this week. When exactly Friday I don't know, hopefully I'll know here soon. Also I have to attend like a class tomorrow or Thursday before receiving the drug for them to go over the side effects of the drug. Even though they told me all already and gave me a shit of papers about the drug, but as they say "They have to do it." Also again to remind those who might have forgot this drug I get once every three weeks is for a whole year so basically once every three weeks till this time again roughly next year. Along with a pill I take once every 12 hours for a year as well. After all of this hopefully it all is finished and just check ups every so often. Though hopefully, at this point I don't know really what is next after all of this. Though I know the doctor wants me to exercise more and so I'm looking into getting a small device that I can use at home to try and exercise as I'm not allowed at the gym, even when all of the facilities reopen I'm still not allowed. So looking to something small and not too expensive to purchase to maybe help with the exercise bit, then just walking.
Another Update on Health
General | Posted 5 years agoWell I just had a visit with the doctor today. He told me things are looking pretty good so far and that I still need to get a PET scan done on July 7th. He also told me on Tuesday to call the Ephrata cancer center to setup appointments to receive a drug called Brentuximab Vedotin. It has the same common side effects as the other drugs I was receiving like hair loss, nausea and etc. I also have to take a drug called Acyclovir, which is an anti-viral drug for a year as well as the Brentuximab Vedotin. The Acyclovir has to be taken twice a day for the whole year. The Brentuximab has to be taken once every three weeks for a year. The Brentuximab Vedotin will increase my chances greatly in preventing the cancers return and making the STEM cell treatment more of a success. So things are moving along it seems far as my treatment. Just taking things a day at a time as things go. Soon going to be working more again as well as the doctor cleared me for working from home. Also having to stay safe and confining myself to my home till the doctor says otherwise. Which I know many of you are experiencing now. Though I can guarantee yous its nothing like this. As I been quarantined since the week of Christmas and still no signs of returning to the public fully till maybe September area. Luckily I am allowed outside and can interact with a very small group of people if they are not sick and not touching me. Other than that, thoughts of going to the movies or bowling or any other major thing with a lot of people are out of the question like restaurants and civil war reenactments and other fun activities with a lot of people involved. Though I will find a way to work through it, though playing games and watching movies or listening to music all the time does get tired some after awhile, but still trying to push through. I can say its definitely been quite the bump in the road far as my life. More of a bump that I ever experienced and sometimes can get very depressing to work through, but I try to pull through it the best I can. As I don't know about many of yous out there, but I want to pull through to be there for my family when they are in need and to do many things with them when possible. Cause if its one thing I learned quickly about life is that no one knows when their time will come, but till that time comes. I'm going to do what I can to enjoy life and those I interact with in my life. Hope everyone is safe and is staying safe. Hopefully soon things will get better and we can kind of go to a slight normal again. I'll continue to try and keep all posted as I have the Brentuximab Vedotin and about further doctor visits and information as it comes. As from what I have been told that I will be monitored closely for a good few years even after all this is done to make sure that I'm still in the clear of things.
To any and new readers of this information. You can look at my many post journal posts about all of this. As I been posting things as time went on how things were progressing with my discovery and treatment of my cancer.

Another Update
General | Posted 5 years agoWell I wanted to let you all know that I have posted all art that I had gotten as gifts from friends or I got for friends or that I ordered before I couldn't work all posted now. Also I am working again a bit. Doctor wanted me to work easy for the first two weeks in which was fine, but then I was suppose to work normal this week and on. Though sadly a virus hit my company servers and messed up a lot of things. So Haven't been able to work Wednesday last week through to now and still can't tomorrow. Maybe even the rest of this week with the way things are sounding. Though hopefully things get fixed sooner then later far as the issue with work. Though I know in general these first two paychecks back to work aren't going to be great at all.
Other than that mostly going ok far as things go. Managing by. Hope everyone else is doing ok. Also on another note, once things get better again with finances I will try to do those raffles I was doing before all this hit. I see I'm a bit over 900 watchers now.

General | Posted 5 years agoWell everyone I wanted to let you all know I been doing alright. I haven't experienced any symptoms far as like I had when I first had the cancer, but still can't jump to any conclusions. Don't know if its gone for good yet till the PET scan from like 2 months from now. Other than that things are going good. Started working again from home which is definitely different as first time I ever worked from home before. Though I have received some sad news. My mother just called me today telling me my stepfather has developed cancer in the liver. What type I don't know yet. They discovered it earlier this year and my mother didn't tell me to now as she didn't want to worry me during my treatments. Though from what she told me his cancer spread to his lymphnodes around the lungs. Causing his lungs to fill with fluids and have to get drained so often to prevent Bronchitis. Also with the cancer having spread so much they can't treat him of his cancer and give him roughly a year to live. Also all they can only do what they can to make things comfortable for him before the clock stops turning for him.

General | Posted 5 years agoWell figure to give everyone an update. I'm still doing alright and things are going ok far as everything. Hard to find things to do at home, but managing. Also got a call that I can work from home now, since this COVID stuff has everyone working from home mostly if able. Though I don't know if that its only for the duration of the COVID stuff or if I'll have to stop once its all done. Only time will tell as far as I know of I still can't go into the office yet till the doctor says which I know he said maybe in 5/6 months after the stem cell transplant. Which be around September if my calculations are correct for returning to the office. Though hopefully maybe sooner. Also still got like 2.5 or 3 months to go till I have a PET scan done to see if the cancer has returned or not, but I have a pretty good feeling about it. So I'm not worried about the cancer, just know its going to be fun to manage stuff to pay off the bills, but I'm sure I will get them paid in due time once it all is said and done. Hope everyone else is doing alright though in these rough times and are making it by and looking out for each other. As that's the only true way we make it through tough times is being there for one another. Weather it be lending an ear or advice to maybe helping out with giving some supplies or helping with other things. Work through our differences like adults and talk things out without resorting to violence. It is the only true way we can stand stronger and accomplish more as a species to a better and brighter future.
Another Update on my Cancer
General | Posted 5 years agoWell everyone I am home as of Tuesday at 1pm or 1300. I will have to go tomorrow on Friday to the lab to give them some blood so they may see if my counts are continuing to rise. Also now its the time were I have to remain indoors mostly or from as little people contact as possible till my immune system rebuilds itself. Which they said on average is 5 to 6 months for the immune system to recover, at most a year. Also I'll have an anti-viral medication to take for up to a year as my immune system rebuilds itself. Which I found out the reason they give you the medication during this time with all their transplant patients is that almost everyone has Shingles laying dormant inside them or suppressed heavily by their immune system. So with my immune system being compromised till it rebuilds itself the Shingles may activate within me. So the anti-viral medication is to help prevent it from activating.
Also three months from now I have to get another PET scan done to see and make sure that my cancer doesn't or hasn't return. Which I feel pretty good about this and think that its gone now. Little stubborn in the beginning, but I feel like its gone and hopefully soon I can get back to working again and trying to aim for my goals again that I had before all this started.

General | Posted 5 years agoHey everyone,
Its been a bit since I sent an update. The transplant went without a hitch. Just recovering from said transplant is the fun part. They will monitor me for 14 days if the transplant. Which I'm on day 4 of the 14. Things are mostly ok, just my poor gut is feeling the effects of the drugs. So they been trying to help me with that far as medicine till it passes. Hopefully soon, but they said it varies for everyone to recover from it. So hoping the gut problems end soon. Hope everyone is doing ok out there as I hear news about things from the medical staff. Things are definitely chaos today. Hopefully all this chaos will soon be behind us.

Another Update on my Cancer
General | Posted 6 years agoWell everyone today is the big day. I go in at 12 to get registered and taken to my room on the 7th floor of the hospital. Where they will hook me up and get ready to give me the main final chemo. Either later today or tomorrow morning. Which will go for like 6 days roughly of chemo which will attack my bone marrow and remove it along with many other blood. It makes the blood drop low that they will have to give me blood during those days as they mainly want to target the bone marrow. Once those six days are complete though they will on the following day give me the 13.4 million STEM cells they took from me and return them to me. These STEM cells are blank slates and will help my body recover quicker in rebuilding the immune system and other areas the chemo affected. Then for roughly 2 weeks after they will monitor me and make sure I'm recovering. Once I'm recovered to were they like they will release me and I may return home. Though I have to wait till the all clear from the doctor to return to work as my immune system is still not the greatest. Also once every month I will have to return for an infusion of a drug or two to help increase my chances of the cancer to not return for a year after this main procedure. Then hopefully after all that things are good to go again and I can return to do things without worry or issue. As I know they say its not absolute solution that there is a possibility it could return, but as they say mind over matter. Worry about it and it probably happen. I will have my phone with me and my tablet so I will have a way to talk to people if they want to chat as the hospital has taken precautions do to recent events. All patients are only allowed two visitors at a time and no one under 18 is allowed to visit me. As they called me like twice now this week to relay that information. Along with a bunch of pre-questions as well far as with recent events. Though I guess many you wonder if I'm nervous will all the information I just gave, but I'm not. I'm ready to go in get this done and move on. I see myself more having an issue of finding something to do really while I'm there.

General | Posted 6 years agoHey everyone. Well I finished the STEM cell collection process today. They got the amount they wanted. They only needed 2 million STEM cells, but they were able to get 13.4 million STEM cells. So way more then they needed initially which is probably way good for later when they return them to me after they wipe my immune system. Which I found out Thursday next week on the 19th of March is when I go into the hospital and get admitted for the 21 days. At first I wont get drugs right away on the first day, but not long after entering. Then 6 days of heavy drugs that will wipe my immune system and make me loose my hair temporarily. Then 7th day I get my STEM cells back to help rebuild my immune system quicker. Then waiting for my health to recover enough to return home. After that hopefully not super long after I will be able to work again. Though I will have to once a month go in to get a drug that will increase my chances of the cancer not returning, but of course doctors cant promise anything, but i feel pretty good about it.

General | Posted 6 years agoWell tomorrow I go in to do all the tests they want me to do before doing the STEM Cell Transplant. Its going to be a long day as I have to be there by 8am in the morning and my last appointment/test is like at 2 or 3pm. So going to be a very long day. Then after that on the 6th of March I go in to get another port put into the right side of my chest for them to do the STEM Cell procedure. Then not very long after that is the 21-28 days being emitted into the hospital for the main heavy chemo.
Far as finances go I should be mostly ok, though it be strickly holding it only for bills since the recovery after the main thing can be anywhere from 6 months to a year. Which by my calculations I have enough cash to pay the bills for the year and thats it. Not really any extra for food. So again if you like to donate that be greatly appreciated, but you don't have to, so here is the GoFundMe link if you want to:

Another Update on my Cancer
General | Posted 6 years agoWell everyone the PET Scan showed no signs of cancer cells in my body as all the black spots disappeared. So now they are going to continue with the process of doing the STEM cell transplant. Though before they do that they must do some tests. They want to do an echo scan of my heart, then tests of my vitals when walking a good amount of time, and finally tests on my lungs before starting the transplant. Now of course there is risk to the transplant as well as they said i may have a hard time getting kids later in life after this is all done. They also said there is a 2% risk of possible death from the procedure as well. Just like those getting open heart surgery done. So till all the tests are completed we are looking till like March when I have the transplant. So my calculations of maybe late August is pushed back to like late September roughly for the earliest return to work, latest being March of next year as they are wiping my entire immune system and restarting it essentially. Which they said could take roughly 6 months to a year to fully recover. Then they also have to give me all my shots from baby on up before I'm allowed to work again. Though luckily I have gotten some financial assistance, but still not enough to cover everything.
Again if you like to donate to my GoFundMe fund you can or if you can't just spreading the word helps too.

Another Update on my Cancer
General | Posted 6 years agoeveryone just to let you all know that this Friday I have a PET Scan early in the morning and see the doctor after to discuss the results of said scan to see if the cancer has decreased to what they like to see. If so then I will be proceeding to do a STEM Cell transplant which is where they will give me some drugs to ramp up my STEM cell production before they go to take my own STEM cells. Then they freeze them and a week after I get immitted into the hospital for 21/28 days. The first 6/7 days will be getting a strong dose of Chemotherapy for wiping out my immune system as they essentially want to restart it. Then day 7/8 they will return those STEM cells they took out of me earlier. This helps the body recover and rebuild its immune system quicker and more efficiently. Then they will monitor me for the two weeks after to make sure I'm recovering nicely before letting me return home for the caregivers to help me. At that point I am not allowed to go anywhere without a mask and must wash daily as well as those whom visit must take precautions when they come to see me. So they must wash their hands and were masks when they visit me in the home and the home will have to be cleaned daily as I'm very prone to infection till my immune system rebuilds itself. Which the amount of time it takes for the body to fully recover the immune system is anywhere from 6 months to a year after the chemotherapy.

It has come to my attention far as a note on my cancer
General | Posted 6 years agoHello everyone it just came to my attention that a friend of mine was noted here on FA, by whom they didn't say. They just told me that the jist of the note was saying that I was lying about my cancer and lying about my need for help with finances. that I was using the donations for artwork. Which is very hurtful and sad to hear that someone is saying such things.
Like yes I understand people do abuse others kindness and may say something in hopes of getting money quickly for their own selfish gains. Which I know yeah I been posting art since I posted journals about me having cancer, but if you pay attention to all my journals in the very beginning I was able to work and was still able to manage finances. Now that things gotten more intense I am not allowed to work and thus can't order any art.
The only reason I have been posting art was cause it was art I ordered while back when I could and or back log from an artist. As I can tell you there is an artist I been waiting for like 2 years for the art I ordered from them and still haven't gotten. Or the artwork I got that I posted recently were gift art from my close friends who wanted to try and help me feel better through my time of struggle. I can't be more thank full for the friends I made here on FA as they have helped me through a lot and I do the same for them.
So I can say it hurts to know that my friend of all people as well got the message and not me directly about saying such a thing of me lying about my cancer. I'm not afraid to talk about my situation and I'm not afraid to tell you how things are as cancer isn't a pretty thing. I don't see how others can lie about having such a thing when I can tell you from experience right now that I'm going through its not fun at all and it hurts me more to aks others for assistance. When I'm not even asking for much assistance at that. I seen people beg and plead for 50,000 dollars and more for assistance with the cancer. I'm just mainly asking for 10,000 max to help for food and bills for the time I'm not allowed to work. I already figured I will do what I can to pay the medical bills after everything is finished as I feel its more my burden not everyone else's.

Another Update on my Cancer
General | Posted 6 years agoWell everyone I'm going in again this week. Hopefully my white blood cell count is to their liking to give me the ESHAP drugs this week. Last week they weren't high enough so they didn't give me the drugs. It was at 750 for my white blood cell count and they like to see 1500 or higher for the count. So again hopefully now its to their liking. If not then I don't know what they will do, but I will find out. Now the only bummer is my appointments this week are all at 2 or 3 pm so late days for me.
Also I got some financial assistance, though still not enough to fully cover everything far as food especially. So if anyone can send anything to help me out that be greatly appreciated. Even if you can't donate anything just spreading the word as well is very helpful indeed.

Another update
General | Posted 6 years agoWell when I went in Monday to start another drug week, they found my white blood cell count was too low for their liking as I had a count of 750 roughly and they like me to be at 1,500 before giving me more drugs. So they are waiting another week before giving me the drugs to start another week of it. So everything is basically pushed back a week for the process for treatment and recovery of my cancer, but working my way there.
Any support or help will still be appreciated as still no word on possible financial aid. Though I am expecting a phone call today from the place I applied for, but no quarantees on what they will help with far as bills go.
So again if anyone can donate or help spread word I greatly appreciate it.
