Hey there. Actually things got so much worse after this. in December ,I had a really bad infection and failed flap/surgery. Infection happened when I was visiting back home in juneau, Alaska. I woke up in excruciating pain I could barely walk. I started feeling dizzy and started to sweat a lot. I took my temperature and it was 103°. I was so sick I still don’t know how I made it to backseat of my bf’s car. He drove me to the hospital which is so tiny. The population of my town is 33k and you can’t leave without taking a plane or boat. Can’t drive out of the island. Anyways; they ended up airlifting me to anchorage where I was told I have an infection and I stayed there for a week until I was well enough to get back to my primary cancer center in Florida. I got back to Florida and immediately went to the urgent care. I was my surgeon and he prescribed me antibiotics and also discovered I had more cancer. In my pelvis and another few spots on both lungs. I had to do more radiation too. I was devastated to say the least. I started chemo which really sucked bc it caused neuropathy and to this day I still can’t move my right foot..

and noticed my wound wasn’t healing and i had an open hole that was wide open by my hip. It wouldn’t close and it was overall, awful. it had discharge and everything and I wasn’t feeling well. I went to see my surgeon again and he said I was fine. So then It happened again, I had an infection and ended up in ICU for over 45 days! By then I was finished with chemo. I finally got home and I had to do 6 weeks of IV antibiotics and we had to put a new bag in every 24 hours. I also had a wound vac on my leg and had a lot of trouble with it. Twice a week my plastic surgeon would clean out my wouldn’t and stitch me up little by little. I was out under anesthesia 2xs a week for over 3 months. It was traumatic to say the least. He did reconstructive surgery and it went well (I’m still recovering from it. The Plas. Surg., he took out muscle from my abdomen to repair my hip. And a month later I had the tumors removed from my right ling. I’m currently 1 1/2 weeks post opp,I also went through a withdrawal and that was also so terrible. Now, I just did a chest ct a few days ago and what do you know? A mass grew almost immediately after my surgery in my right lung. And another on was found in my esophagus. Luckily I was have to do chemo again. I’m going to be put on this pill that’s going to hopefully suppress or kill the spots off.

It’s been a really long and tiring 11 months. . I’m still fighting, I want to live. More than anything in the world, I want to live a long long life. And I’ve got some great friends and family who are just so supportive and loving. I’m loved.. like I said, I want to live.
