Well, almost 6 weeks have gone by since my surgery date and I'm in less pain. But after 6 weeks of not being allowed to bend my knees at all are put any pressure I fear that the worst is yet to come in relevance to pain.

Next week going for X-rays. So it's going to determine if the surgery helped or if it was all for naught. What physio will look like.

My goal is to be walking by Christmas. Fi gets very much crossed.

August 20th i got a double knee surgery to fix osteo necrosis caused by chemo.

The fun never ends for your local cancer patient.

Quick story about me.

I had Acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

I was diagnosed in March 2018. And was treated until July of 2020. It was a long road and with a lot of complications and ups and downs.

This page is dedicated to people who don't feel comfortable talking about their cancer journey, and that is okay.

But I'll be sharing memes, my own story, and things that I have found out along the way.

Things like cancer are funny, because people think you're some sort of hero. And that's what is the most scary. You are afraid to let everyone down. And it's horrible.

My family was toxic. Made me feel bad for the debt we went into because my treatments weren't where we lived so we had to travel.

My sister made me feel guilty for not talking to her much, because she couldn't be with me. And she blamed me. When all I could do all day was try not to throw up, go to I appointments and do my best to sleep because it was far and few between.

Family can be toxic. And a lot of the time, they don't understand just how hard it was for you. But stay strong. Or tell them off. Because you, are the one facing that monster that is chemo or radiation or transplant. Or in the bad cases, your own mortality.

They don't know how it is. They won't ever know until they go through it. Hopefully they never have to.

Definitely what I called mine 😂😂 going to make it into a pendant.

Bro. All to true.

What is your least favorite saying people say/said to you through your diagnosis or treatment?
