"Carla Demaint has been reported of cancer, we will be selling T-shirts, necklaces, bracelets, and headbands for her, show you care."
It was on the announcements every morning. I had chemo. It wasn't good. The only upside of this was that everyone showed me more affection. But I didn't like the attention I got most of the time, it just made me feel even worse. Seeing people cry all the time because of me. Getting hugs. I hope it gets better. Because once I'm gone, nobody will care anymore about me.
Nothing had been the same as it used to be. I was never as happy and I didn't feel good about myself.
My hair hasn't fallen out yet. I hope it won't. The only big thing that's happened so far in our community is people moving away. I lived in a small town with not a very big population.
But the weeks went by slower and slower.
