I started smoking when I went to college 3 years ago, I'm 21 years old and I have lung cancer. After 3 years of smoking is that not a bummer. Most of my family died from cancer in their 50s, but none of them smoked, I guess I just accelerated the process. The cancer has also spread to my brain and throat, so I'm dizzy every second of my life, I have headaches all day everyday, I cant think straight, I have very memory loss, I can only imagine this must be somewhat what alzheimers is like, to just forget why I walk into a room, to forget peoples names that i've known for years.
I got married last year, I have a son on the way, I will never get to see him, he is due in March, doctors say If i'm lucky I'll make it to see him
Don't feel sorry for me, I've lived a good life, short, but good.
I'm not sure if its the smartest thing but i've refused the chemo treatment, i saw what it did to my dad and my uncle and they both died a few months later even with the treatment, they say this way I'll just slowly start getting more tired and more tired, seems like a more peaceful way to go than being drugged with chemicals....i'll stop rambling...
