It Was Bad News

I don't know how to come on here and say this and I'm really sorry if this is the way you have to find out but I saw my Doctor today about my MRI on Tuesday and she didn't have good news for me. The most recent MRI shows the rapid growth of my tumor, and that the cells inside it have died. (As in my brain is necrotic). I was given 2-3 months to live. They're starting me on a different chemo regimen and trying to make me as comfortable as possible, but at this point, the things they're doing extend my life by a few months instead of saving it.


We asked about any alternative treatment possible and tried to exhaust all our options, but the Doctor thinks this is the best route, and well, she's the Doctor.


Who knows, maybe I'll be a miracle patient and survive long past when they say I will. Or maybe I should just start getting my affairs in order and plan my funeral. (I would be the kind of person to plan my own funeral wouldn't I)


If it's any solace to you, my dear readers, I feel mildly relieved that I won't have to keep dealing with the symptoms I have. I'm trying to find a bright side. Overall this really sucks though.

Chelsea words escape me. Know that my spiritual beliefs tell me that we will meet again. Even though this life wasn't what you hoped I am glad I was able to share some time with you. I hope you will spend your time enjoying your loved ones and proving the Doctors wrong.

I just realized I forgot to put my real name you have better things to do than try to figure out who this is. It's Michael Kevis your old teacher.

Chelsea, I am so sorry you are going through this. You must be terrified. It will be very hard to put your fears to the side and squeeze every good thing out of every day, but I pray you can. You can't control the cancer, but you can choose to surround yourself with people you love & those who love you, the beauty of nature and every happy thing. Praying that you will have many, many happy days ahead 🐱❤️💐

I'm so terribly sorry that this has happened to you, your courage through this battle has been truly inspiring, you've faced something nobody should ever need to go through, and have done so with grace and strength throughout. Your an amazing person, and although we may not be able to spend as much time with you as any of us wanted, we are tremendously lucky to know and love you. Best wishes, here and forever.
