of a drug we knew wasn't working just to prove I tried it so I could qualify for a clinical trial. The cancer was growing I was losing and my only wish at age 29 on my birthday was to see age 30 so I could have a year to make memories and tell people bye.
I'm here today 9 years

Today is my birthday. Birthdays have never been a huge day for me, to be honest there are always complicated feelings on this day, but today this year I sit here with a feeling of thankfulness, appreciation an disbelief
I remember this day in 2016 I was facing the 3rd infusion

575 medical appointments not counting the overnight hospital stays, or about 1 appointment every 7 days for 11 years. You can do the math when each appointment takes between 2-10 hours how much time Ive spent
This isn't complaining or anything this is just facts and to put into

and everything else like
Sitting in waiting rooms
Waiting on blood work results
Waiting on treatment to be made
Waiting to be seen
Filling out countless forms and surveys
Then actually seeing the medical professional
In 11+ years I've been a cancer patient I've had around

Another day another trip to the cancer center for yet another appointment, sometimes it feels like a never ending ride. Most people that havent experienced this don't understand what is cancer patients deal with in the amount of time we spend going to and from appointments
