My Journey: Patient perseverance
http://survivorjourney.blogspot.com/2009/08/patient-perseverance.html
Monday, August 3, 2009. I guess the only way is patient perseverance. Over the next few days I will be getting tests done to figure out exactly where the cancer is, if it has spread within the liver or from the liver back to other parts of my body, and how quickly I need to act. Then next week I plan on meeting with a doctor to discuss treatment options, however wild and crazy they may be. So how do I plan on waiting it out this week without letting myself get too worked up? Sacrifices of my family.

Wednesday, February 25, 2009. The Recurrence - Dealing with Setbacks. Life is a series of experiences, each of which makes us bigger, even though it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and grieves which we endure help us in our marching onward.". A very very close friend suggested that I spend some time on this blog sharing the specific thoughts and feelings I had as I encountered significant setbacks over the past 2 years. More treat...

My Journey: September 2009

Wednesday, September 16, 2009. I'll explain in detail how it works in my next post, but the hope here is that the tiny microscopic cancer cells hiding in my brain, slowly developing into tumors, will be killed. This way we can completely stop, or at the very least reduce the frequency, of tumors from growing in the future. Wednesday, September 9, 2009. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

My Journey: March 2009
http://survivorjourney.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 26, 2009. My biggest concern was that an additional lung surgery might severely compromise my lung function, but the doctor assured me that this would not have to be a very extensive procedure and that the recovery would be quick. I expect to have it done early next week but don't know exactly what day. I feel more relaxed now that I have a plan. I did my homework, and there's not much else I can do except stay calm and trust the doctors to do their jobs. Have a good weekend. I lost two 2...

My Journey: October 2009
http://survivorjourney.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 5, 2009. I'm not sure how to really cover everything that's happened in the last month since my post about the whole brain radiation treatments. A few days after we learned about the brain, I was informed by my doctors that the disease had begun spreading rapidly within the abdomen again, only this time, they were out of ideas. I have not cheated myself in this battle in any way. I have done all the treatments, never taking the easy way out. I tried my best not to complain, just t...

Tuesday, June 30, 2009. I apologize for missing so much time between posts, but the last week was incredibly busy for me. I celebrated my birthday last Wednesday, and met a lot of new friends over the weekend. That's all I got for now, but I promise to post more often this next month as I couldn't get on here enough in June. Sunday, June 21, 2009. Great Story on Overcoming low odds. This is an amazing story about a homeless girl who overcame tremendous obstacles to get accepted into Harvard. After a fun-...

My Journey: August 2009
http://survivorjourney.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 31, 2009. Sacrifices of my family. So that means 4 straight days with no doctor's visits. What will I do with myself? My family is busy fasting as it is Ramadan for us right now, a month that demands incredible sacrifice and patience. Just the fasting alone is a challenge, given the long days and the intense heat, but my family (my parents and brother) have been asked by God to go above and beyond, which they have and continue to do everyday. And I haven't even mentioned my brother, who wa...
