Dear Diary,

It has been a few weeks since I have been here and tomorrow I will be starting chemotherapy. I won't tell anyone that I'm scared but it's okay for you to know, right?

I was diagnosed in early January. I went home for a week but came back because one night my chest hurt so badly I couldn't breathe properly. I thought I was going to die. The day after, I had surgery on my left lung to remove the tumor and they decided eventually I would have to start chemo. At the time, it seemed so far away, but now it's tomorrow.

I was in the hospital full-time starting around the twentieth of January. I will stay here for as long as I need to.

I am terrified for tomorrow. I have thought about trying to run away so they cannot do anything, I know this will make me better but part of me does not want it. The thought scares me because I have heard what happens to patients on chemo: they get sick, their hair falls out, they get more tired.

How can I get more tired than I already am?

My parents aren't coming in nor have they visited but they called Nurse Hiromi to tell me good luck and to say they will try to see me once they are able to take time off work. I wonder when that could be.

Love, Nene

(P.S.: Today is Valentine's Day and Kou brought me some chocolates the last time he visited. I have not been able to eat them yet but I hope soon I'll be able to.)

Love, Nene〖Tbhk AU〗Where stories live. Discover now
