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.
