So as the title suggests I have cancer. To be specific lung cancer because I suffered with pneumonia 6 years ago. So ask me anything I'll try to answer your questions and yeah. :smile:

Well Chemo doesn't work. It's not effective on me unfortunately. And the bullies didn't know until last year at uni when I had to carry an oxygen tank around with me everywhere and I had nibs in my nose so they knew after a few years. But the bullies wouldn't bully me about that cos they knew it was a bad idea. Idek tbh
wishing you the best! <3

Nah ur good it's fine dw. And ty but it's not likely I'll recover because chemo isn't effective so I have to take pills and stuff. When I was told I think I passed out or something cos I was on a bed and I just sat there crying knowing I wasn't allowed to play sports and had to go easy on running

Very sorry for this. I hope you get well soon.

Here goes:

1. How have you been?
2. What do you do with your day?
3. How has lockdown treated you?
I hope you get well soon! And hopefully the bullies don't give you too much of a hard time:hugs:
How have you been during lockdown?
You were told you developed lung cancer from a bout of pneumonia?

Thank you but it couldn't be stopped.

1) Not very good. I mean I was really depressed for 4 years after I was told and I just wanted to die. But as the years went by I got more used to it.
2) So I have breakfast, work from home now, have my routine meds which means most of my day is napping and just lazing around waiting for the meds to kick in. Then I sleep with this oxygen machine that controls my breathing when I'm asleep.
3) Lockdown sucks because I'm not allowed out AT ALL. If I do I'm 200% more vulnerable to getting COVID and more likely to die. so life sucks but I guess you just have to get through it

Yeah. I had a severe case of pneumonia and after that I was told my cells multiplied and I had cancer. If you don't believe me you can just google it :u:

Well don't worry. Unless it was a really bad case then I don't know. But from birth I had a pretty weak system and whenever I got a cold or flu it would be 10 times worse than the average flu or cold.
