It's over. This shitty process that started about a year ago, it's over. Today is my last day of radiotherapy. Today, I hugged myself and cried for hours. While cleaning the house, I saw my old photos and started crying instantly. I haven't cried this much in a long time. After 3 surgeries, 8 chemotherapies, and 25 radiotherapies, I'm done. Unfortunately, I'll be alone on my last day. I wish someone would be with me, but nobody wanted to accompany me. I'll get myself a cake and celebrate my new birthday. It's over, but looking at what they took from me, I realize how much I've lost. My right to become a mother, my right to breastfeed a baby, my breasts, my bodily integrity, my femininity, my hormones, my hair, and most importantly, my dreams. I'm sure getting a cancer diagnosis is very hard for everyone, but facing your own death at the age of 27 is much harder. Today is a difficult day, it's time to mourn what I've lost. It's time to accept the fear that will be with me for a lifetime. I did everything that needed to be done. I seek refuge in God's mercy. There is a saying in my country, "Prayers made by one patient for another patient are accepted." Please pray for me.
This was beautiful written and helped me process some of the things Iβm feeling as another young cancer patient (dx at 30). As others have said, you have us to celebrate with in spirit and Iβm so glad you made it through!! π€ π
