Astrocytoma


by: Pauline on Tue, Jul 10 2007

I was diagnosed with this particular cancer in 2002 grade, 3 they told me. They, being the surgeons, decided it would be beneficial if I was to have radiotherapy. It turned out that I had six weeks of radiotherapy. Backwards and forward the taxis use to come. I should not moan. It is true to say that I have been left in pain all the time because of the evasive surgery. Nine years of suffering and none of the doctors taking me seriously. I’ve survived through sheer bloodiness and being stubborn. Now I’m trying to organise a party (a fund raising party) to celebrate life being still around after five years. Here’s to another five years then ten years.
