In retrospect: in writing this story about my experiences, I looked at all the Facebook posts I used to update family and friends. This brought back a lot of memories, both good and bad. It’s hard to believe how positive I was through this experience. But at the time, I felt I had two choices in accepting my fate and the future of my treatment: worry about the outcome or give in wholeheartedly, putting my trust in my doctors and nurses to get me through successfully.
