woohoo!

I know this sounds lame, but I'm going back to work on monday!

I probably never been so excited, my company decided to retain me. Same salary, with the kicked-in raise I was suppose to get before they administratively suspended me. After 9 months of going to hell and back, I finally feel victorious! I am forever thankful to this company, who could've fired me, but decided to keep me on benefits and as an employee. I thank whoever is up there in the stars, for watching my back.

me > cancer

U had cancer?

[thcbongman]

You didn't know? I thought most on this forum was aware of it.

Yup. Testicular Cancer.

[rebgirl420]

I have hodgkins Lymphoma, ive been in remission for 3 years now : )

[thcbongman]

Congrats! We won't let cancer beat us down!

I can't wait until whether they say if I'm in remission or not. I have a few months before I find out.

[rebgirl420]

Well thats good that your doing good! Your right, cancer wont beat us down, not in todays world! It used to be a death sentance you know, luckily today the break thoruighs in chemo and radiation are wonderful...they make you feel like crap but its worth it haha

[thcbongman]

I never experienced radiation, but I went through 4 cycles of chemo. I never so felt sick in my life, but for the last 3 cycles, I never was so happy to smoke weed. It helps deal with it, with the extreme nausea. God it feels like shit, I'm glad it's behind me.

[rebgirl420]

Yup, I was doing chemo every day except saturday for about a year and a half (there were som breaks in between of course, like for my b-day and such). Weed did help, with the nausea, it made me hungry, and it helped with the cramps and pain. Im actually kind of happy I got it as a teen. it really put my life in perspective you know? It made me a better person. While most kids are bitching that mommy didnt drive em' to the mall I was writing out my living will.

[thcbongman]

I definitely know what you are saying about putting your life in perspective. You realize some things you thought were important really aren't. Before I got cancer, I was such an arrogant bastard, at times I thought I was superman, and nothing could stop me. I definitely think I am a better person now than before, more positive, and optimistic.

That's rough tho, my chemo cycle was to do it for 1 week than take a 2 week break. You had it much worse than I, and I can see the strength within you.

Congrats to both of you for beating the big C!
