Well I did my chemo last night at like 9:20pm and finished at like 10:30pm, and amazingly that is all the chemo I will be getting for this session and this is my official 11th session of chemo which means I only have 3 more sessions to go and I should be done my protocol of 30 weeks/14 treatments. It went really well I didn’t feel anything at all and it also went by really fast. So that worked out well. What I didn’t expect from the doctors was to discharge to TODAY. They gave me 2 units of blood which takes about four hours or more to get, but it’s perking me up a bit but I’m still a bit tired and I did take a nap!
But it was a rough night, a friend had finished her tattoo really late like at 11:30pm and we talked until 12:30am, then at 2am to 3:30am my roommate was having some difficulties. The nurses kept leaving my curtain open so the light always got inside my room and I couldn’t sleep well, the nurses also kept coming in and out of the room more than usual! And in the morning my roommate had to go to the Cross Cancer Institute to complete a Radiation simulation for her upcoming Radiation treatment at 8am she was supposed to be in the Ambulance on her way there. They woke her up around 7am and she didn’t get up until 7:30am about the same time the EMS came to pick her up. . . I felt really bad because she didn’t get that much sleep either! And she had to go to the Cross Cancer that early in the morning and they didn’t end up leaving until 8:30am so they were late for the appointment. But apparently everything went well and she should be starting her Radiation treatment soon.
It’s the talks that I basically cherish the most with my roommates; you both get to pick each other’s brains for different opinions. You both know what the pain and the routines are like and all the possibilities that can happen during or after treatments. You get to find out what the other feels and what they are annoyed at and what gets them mad or happy or what surprises them. You could completely open up to them and it wouldn’t matter about what, because you want to hear from them you want to know what they are thinking about.

About Me
- Alora Deonie
- Alberta, Canada
- I am currently 22yrs old, I created this blog when I was 17yrs old. I was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 16, for awhile a group of us were talking about how to create or find constructive outlets. This is how my blog started, with the purpose to be my outlet when I left I could turn to no one that would understand. I would share my experience and my thoughts with the world because cancer patients think differently. This blog is to show people who are curious about other peoples lives and the perspectives they have. I was open then at 17 to share my deepest and honest inner thoughts, and at 22 I am just as willing, So join me in following my life journey through how I balance being a stage 4 Cancer patient with "normal" life.
