December 6

The next morning the nurse woke me up and gave me breakfast. She asked me,"How are you feeling today sir?" I replied,"I'm okay I guess, what happend though? What am I doing here?" The nurse said to me,"Don't worry, yesterday you were very sick and passed out, luckly you were able to grab the phone quick enough before you did pass out. Your doctor should be here in a few hours." In the mean time gets some rest for yourself." I said,"Alright, thanks."

I was eating breakfast when all of the sudden I threw up a gallon full of blood all over the table and I was having breathing problems, so I grabbed the phone and called 911 and said,"Help Me! I just threw up blood and now I can't breath! What's your address?" The phone operator said, and just when I was about to say, I passed out from respration difficulty. Luckly the hospital had a gps system to say what my address was where I was calling. The ambulence came in five minutes and I was rushed to the hospital. About an hour later I'm okay in a hospital bed.

At the doctor's office this week again. The doctor tells me, "Well Kynan, looks like it's going to take longer than we thought to treat your cancer. I'd hate to tell you but your cancer looks like it's getting worse and stronger, therefore it looks like we're going to have to increase your chemotherapy, which may prevent you have hair loss sadly." I didn't really like the sound of that. After I left the doctor's office, on the way home I went to the store to find some hats this in case of, well...you know.

Back at the doctor's office again today, and overtime while I'v been on chemotherapy I havn't been losing my hair because of how little radiation I'v been taking on the chemotherapy due to how weak this cancer was. How about that! Anyways the doctor said,"It looks like your cancer is starting to wear off. By the way by any chance in your history did you ever smoke?" I said,"No, so why did I develope lung cancer? That's a question that stumps me", the doctor said. Then he asked,"Did you ever happen to live anywhere in an area of high pollution in your history? I replied,"Now that you've mentioned it, I have! Back in my childhood days my family was very poor. We hardly had anywhere to eat or live even. We always had to shelter near industrial parks. Some days the air quality would be so bad we had to wear masks to protect our health." Then the doctor replied,"How old were you when you moved to a healthier area? I was about 12 years old." I replied. Then he said."Well that looks like that might have been the cause of all this. Well anyways our time is up so I'll look forward to seeing you agian next week!" I replied,"Allrighty then so do I!" So then I went home feeling a little better.

I was back at the doctor's office again today and the doctor said i may have to on chemotherapy. I told him about some emotional problems I've been going though, and he said to not worry because with how weak my cancer is he said the chemo should treat it in no time.

Today I've just found out I have cancer. I felt very concerned about this. A lot of my family members have had many different types of cancers. The thing that I hoped for the most was to see my kids graduate high school and to make the most out of life before I die. Considering with most of my family members having cancer I myself was predicting that i may too have cancer in my future ahead. After I got home from the doctor's office, I was doing a lot of thinking. Some things I was thinking about were,"What am I going to do now? My doctor told me my cancer was genetic but I thought I kept myself healthy enough to not get cancer." The 1st night after finding out about this was very stressful.
