p.s. I watched all of the Masters all 4 days and I'm glad Mickleson won as both his wife and mom are fighting breast cancer.
Also "Make a Wish" came tonight and talked to me about my wish which I have not decided yet.

Hey everybody. Hope everyone is doing well. So last week I went back to the Hospital on Wednesday for 3 day Chemo. I went in with trying to make the best of this round. I was feeling good but for some reason as soon as I got to the hospital I had major jitters and felt sick before I had even started. I got to my room and five minutes later I felt extremely better as I met my nurse and my roommate who came in the same time as me. When you meet your roommate you obviously converse about why you are in the hospital. Turns out his name is Devin and he has Ewing Sarcoma in his left tibia and his mom was there with him who was a teacher. I told him I had the exact same thing in my right tibia and my mom was with me and was a teacher too. Weird huh? His tumor is a little lower by his ankle though and he started his treatment in December and was waiting for a bone graph so he could have surgery. Over those 3 days both me and Devin's chemo went really well as we were having the exact same chemo and started the same time and both ended at 2pm on Friday. Devin and I became friends as he got me to go to school and I got him to go to teen night. He is a Sophomore in Yakima and his mom and him are staying with his aunt in Seattle. That means he doesn't get to see friends or be home. I invited him and his mom to come hangout tomorrow with me and my mom tomorrow so hopefully they will come. Please keep him in your prays though as it is really hard to find bone graphs for ankles and they might have to fuse his ankle to his leg and he won't be able to walk on it again. But his tumor that is the same as mine has shrunk a lot and has reacted really well to the chemo. Like I was saying my chemo went well. Saturday was rough though once I was home for 24 hours I got sick and it wasn't the best day. Sunday was better and this week has been going well so far as I am trying to do a lot of school work. It was bed time for me a long time ago so I should stop writing. Keep praying!!!

ReplyDeleteHello Garrett! We are so grateful that Heavenly Father is mindful of our needs. Your story is a testament to that. How wonderful that you met someone so similar to you and your situation. We continue to pray for your comfort and healing and love you!
ReplyDeletePS. We were also excited to se Mickleson win!
That's nice that you both had eachother in the hospital. Also very kind of you to invite them to spend time with you. I'm sure it's much harder to fight this battle without a huge support system around you all the time. Still praying for your recovery!!
