I have talked about my story for 12 years. It isn’t new to me. I rarely cried about it when it was happening. I sometimes forget that my life once revolved around the side effects from my mediations.
Yet hitting publish, telling a whole bunch of strangers who didn’t know my past, was terrifying. I was actually going to delete the video. Then I remember the first time I had methotrexate (the low dose chemo that dictated my life for five years). I thought about how the twelve year old me crying and throwing up into a bucket could have used that video.
I thought about the time I learned that the meds weren’t working for the first, second and third time. Again, I could have used that video. I could have used a role model, someone to prove that it will be better.
My only hope is this video finds its way to anyone who needs to hear my story. Anyone who is sick and tired of being sick and tired. If that is you, my inbox is always open. Im an email, DM, hell even a carrier pigeon away.
