What is 3b's?

The second B – Back(Spine)

I was started working, after being cleared of the Breast cancer for eight months I started having very bad pain in my back. Started staying out of work, could not sit up or lay down. I went for physiotherapy and saw a psychiatrist as my Oncologist could not find the core point of where the pain was coming from.

It got so bad I could not sleep, woke my parents early one morning crying and they rushed me to hospital. Doctors where not in at that time of the morning and there I was laying in pain, thinking I was going to die of this pain. Doctors came sent me for a scan to find the cancer is in my Spine between two vertebrates, and it was worse then the Breast cancer. They called in all my family to inform them how server it was second time around, Doctors said “they down know if I am going to make it because of where the cancer is in my spine.

What does a person do after hearing such word? They don't know if your gone make it!

I felt like dying, told my parents I don't want treat, just leave me to die. Could not see my self going through this treatments again, after having much motivation and support I started treatment. It the worse period because the chemo treatment was much stronger, it made me very sick, I felt like giving up many time. But with the support of my family and people of my church praying and being there, you can not believe how support of loved one's gives you strength and will to carry on.

It was tough, my father would take me for treatment, my mom would always see to it that the house is clean, it was very important. Because of the chemo treatment making my immune system so low that if I should cold or flu it could mean I can die. Young kids also had to say away even some one with a cough or sneeze.

It was horrible!

I was 20 year old while going through treatment for the cancer in my back, then it was my 21^st birthday . As a young girl I always dreamt of having a big 21^st birthday party, here I was still going through treatment. Doctors told my parents I would need a bone marrow transplant, this meant I would not see this party I was dreaming of as a young girl! Because I would be in isolation for three month or more over my birthday. I was more worried bout the party then the bone marrow transplant. My sister and brother was test, they where not compatible. Bummer that meant going abroad and searching for a match, it could take months!

I say and believe because of the faith of my family and prayer I did not need a bone marrow transplant, I was cleared of the Cancer in the Spine. What a celebration and had a huge 21^st birthday.
