My CEO asked me how's my health doing so far and I said to him, "I'll fake it till I make it". He disagreed to that lol. Well, I'm just hoping that hitting the one-year mark since my last diagnosis doesn't mean new stuff will come my way.
I was just thinking of how at this time last year, I was starting to feel really sick and I kept pushing myself to keep going forward. I wonder if that's what I tend to do in any situation that's bad. I just don't take no for an answer. Maybe it's bad but maybe it's good too? I don't know.
A year ago, I really thought I wasn't going to make it and especially how the doctors treated me at first, it just didn't seem too promising. It was pretty bad. A year later, here I am still fighting. That friend of mine who passed away from Lymphoma a month or so before I got diagnosed only battled her cancer for about half a year. I consider myself lucky to still be around after all that I've been through.
I'm no longer looking for a purpose to life. I honestly don't think that the purpose is out there to be found, I think the purpose to life is self-created. I believe you get to decide what your purpose is and while I can do that, I'll make it worthwhile: To give back to others and for me to be content. I try not to hang on to negative feelings too long now. I'm sure there will still be down days but at least I know I won't dwell on things as long as I used to before. It's just not worth it really. There's more to life than to allowing negative emotions rule over your life and your days ahead of you.
Cancer sucks. As far as I'd hope I never see another different one in my lifetime again, I somehow feel like this won't be my last time dealing with it. Till then, I'll enjoy the heck out of my time alive and be content with what I have and give back to others what I can. That's what I'll do.
