Hello, it's me, Al.
Sorry this isn't a chapter, I'm working on it right now; but ive got some big news!
I've talked about this on my Instagram, but I thought I would announce it here too, because it's really huge.
(Also this is a topic that I wasn't comfortable talking about in the past)
Anyways,
Last Saturday, May 17th 2014, is when I was officially, free of cancer!
*cue dance party*
It's so crazy being able to say that, I seriously cannot believe it. I've been in remission for a couple of years, around 4~5, and now to be finally free of it is amazing.
I'm still not comfortable talking about it much, but I'll tell you kind of basically what happened and stuff.
When I was around 9, I started having problems breathing, and since cancer runs in my family, my dad took me to the hospital. I was diagnosed with lung cancer, the same as my mom, and I had treatment really quickly. I'm not going to go much into how it felt like, because all I can say is that it hurt like a fucking bitch.
When I was around 11~12 years old, that's when the doctors saw it going away, declaring me in remission. I was really happy when I got told that because I really thought I was going to die.
Throughout the years of my remission, I was starting to lose hope on myself. I honestly didn't seem to be getting any better, and I didn't see myself making it to my own graduation. I kind of wanted to die, and I felt horrible about it. I even tried smoking once, but that stopped really quickly; it was the most dumbest things I've ever done in my entire life. I tried being in a positive mood, and my best friend, Ryan, was there to help me forget and I'm really grateful.
When I went to the hospital last Saturday, I was expecting them to tell me I was going to die. When they didn't, I seriously thought they were joking. I still can't believe it too.
It's been a crazy week, school is completely different now, I'm not getting beat up and shoved to the wall; it's pretty great.
I'd just like to say that being positive about everything really helps. Being negative didn't really work out for me, so do what Gerard says, "Think Happy Thoughts".
Now that I'm finally fucking free, is just like to say a big 'FUCK YOU' to cancer, for hurting like a bitch, and killing my mom.
I hope I fought you good, you deserve it.
