Happy Independence Day.
At least this isn't like Valentine's Day. I'm not in the hospital.
By all rights, I should be. I'm having a hard time eating again and I know I need to keep food in me. It's the only way for me to keep my strength up.
I'm not going to be going through chemo this time. The doctor, my parents, and I discussed the options. He feels we've caught it in time to attempt to remove it surgically.
Day after tomorrow I'll be checked into the hospital. Day after that is my surgery.
I'm keeping my hopes up. I don't want to live with this beast. It's hard. Not just on me but everyone around me. They have to see me like this and it isn't fair. Not to them.
This will be over. I swear it. I will beat this.
I will.
