8 MONTHS AGO, I HAD SURGERY FOR RECTAL CANCER AND 6 MONTHS AGO, I STARTED CHEMO THERAPY. TOMORROW IS THE LAST DAY OF MY CHEMO THARAPY. BY THE GRACE OF GOD AND MY POSITIVE MIND, I HAD A VERY LITTLE SIDE EFFECTS ON CHEMO THERAPY. ON JUNE 3RD I HAVE A PRE ASSESMENT FOR REVERSE SURGERY FOR MY ILEOSTOMY BAG. I HOPE I CAN FACE THE SURGERY POSITIVELY AND IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS, I WILL BE WALKING AS IF I NEVER HAD CANCER. IT ALL STARTED IN 2010, AFTER 3 EYE SURGERY FOR MY RETINAL SURGERY, WHEN I WAS STRESSED ABOUT THE LOSS OF VISION IN ONE OF MY EYE AND I WAS ALAREADY OPERATED FOR CATRACT AND HAVE GLUCOMA. WITH THE STRESS, AND PAST HISTORY OF ACIDITY, I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH ULCERATIVE COLITIS AND WAS UNDER TREATMENT. OUT OF THE BLUE, IN AUGUST 2012, MY SIXTH SENCE ALERTED ME TO GO FOR A FURTHER CHECK UP WITH THE DOCTOR I AM CONSULTING AND I SUGGESTED FOR BOWEL IRRIGATION FOR MY IRREGULAR BOWL HABBIT. IT WAS THEN, HE SUGGESTED THAT I UNDERGO ANOTHER COLONOSCOPY. AND WHEN THE COLONOSCOPY WAS DONE, I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH RECTAL CANCER AND IMMEDIATELY REFERRED TO THE HOSPITAL FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION AND ON ESTABLISHING THE CANCER, I WAS BOOKED FOR TREATMENT. EVENTHOUGH, I WAS DEVESTATED TO KNOW THAT I HAD CANCER, I STAYED POSITIVE TO FIGHT AGAINST CANCER AND I BELEIVE MY POSITIVE MIND HELPED ME A LOT IN SPEEDY RECOVERY AND MINIMAL SIDE EFFECTS DURING CHEMO THERAPY. I AM CURIOUS TO HAVE MY REVERSE SURGERY TO REMOVE THE TEMPORARY ILEOSTOMY BAG IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS. THANK GOD FOR GIVING ME THE COURAGE AND POSITIVE MIND TO STAND UP TO CANCER.
