First blog ever

What's good to whoever will read this. I basically wanna remember all the stuff i had to endure and the knowledge and spirituality I can gain during chemotherapy and everything else (theres a lot). I have germ cell tumor cancer. Rare- look it up, but I have two tumors in my liver and cancerous lymph nodes throughout. I was in severe pain from about mid January to sometime in late February or March it's hard to remember. My diagnosis wasn't confirmed until over a month of me entering the ER. I did over a month of a chemotherapy regimen and my cancerous tumors ended up growing. I was devastated, but my pain seemed to be getting better...but just picture me in bed all day unless i have to get up..not much. Anyway I am now on a new chemotherapy med and its rough as hell but seems to be working now! thank God for that. I have completed two cycles already of that with neupogin shots every night and pic line maintaing ( permanent Catheter in my arm). My ATP levels ( cancer) is continually going down. I still have 2 more cycles of this med and then 2 cycles of High dose therapy. I just finished doing a stem cell collection for 6 days with a catheter put in my neck surgically. Just got that out today! :) But anyway, that's where I'm at for me(to remember this) and anyone who cares to read. Im realizing so much about life that I feel crazy if I don't let out what im thinking or feeling so this is me and my fight with cancer Uncut haha
