What
it 3b's
The
third B – Brain
After being in remission of the
cancer in the back I started working, was working for two years then
decided to try something new. I always had a love for children since
I was young I would look after children, I want to England,
Staffordshire. It was great experience, but not for me, I enjoyed the
country side more then anything.
Came back home after a while,
starter working again, I was working for a month started having very
bad head aches. Went to work late, left work early as I could not
concentrate, when I fainted at work one day. When woke I was in the
sick bay at work, the ambulance was there and so was my father, I was
out for a while. Was rushed to hospital, getting tears in my eyes now
just thinking back how close I was to death. Got to hospital, doctors
could not see anything wrong, went home and the pain got worse over
days.
My manager told me to stay home
and see another doctor, this time this doctor sent me for a head
scan, to find the cancer is back on my brain. I had two tumours as
big as golf balls on the brain, I told the doctor take out your golf
clubs and hit this golf balls away. Doc thought I was crazy, after I
was diagnosed my parents went home to fetched some things,as I had to
have more tests. They could not remove the tumours because it was on
a dangerous place. As I was sitting there waiting to have another
scan, I said to the Lord,”Lord you have carried me through two
cancers what is this on compared to the other two you carried me
through”.
I was in hospital for a while
before I treatment started, I had the support of an amazing family
and church congregation. I had a great friend who was a
physiotherapist who would come to my bed side every day to encourage
me. The dosage of my chemo this time was more heavier than the cancer
in the spine, the chemo drip had to run over a 24hrs period. I also
had four lumper punchers containing chemo as the doctors wanted to
make sure the treatment reach the tumours on the brain. Had to stay
in hospital for the week, went home on Friday, sick after the two
treatments, 24 years old at that stage. My mom would wash me, I had
to eat healthy foods as always my this time even more, she would
clean every day to make sure I don't up any germs. I got to stage
where I apologised to my parents for butting them and the family
through this, feeling that I am a burden to the family. Because all
the attention was on me my brother was on University, my younger
sister at school,
While going through treatment
people invited me to speak at churches, as they could not believe I
sick. I said I am not sick, no I was not in denial, I believed in
Gods word more and stood on His words and promises about anything we
asked That He will do it.
The main scripture was, Matthew
17 v 20 “If you have faith the size of a mustard seed you can tell
this mountain to move”.
I said to this cancer mountain,
be moved and I walked in healing, believing that I am well.
