The Diagnosis

  In 2015 I found out that I had a small lump the size of a peanut in my right breast. I didn't think it was something to worry about.  I went about  my normal life, until it started growing bigger. I went for a breast scan and the doctor said it was fibroadenoma. He said, it was benign and nothing to worry about it. But then, it continued to grow and grow. That was when I decided I was going to get rid if it. I had a lumpectomy done and the sample taken for histology and that was when I got the bad news that the lump was cancerous.  My world came to a standstill.  All this happened even before I got to find out I also had kidney cancer. I will stop here for today. I had chemotherapy last Friday and it's dealing with me so badly.  I need to take some rest. Will be back tomorrow or next to continue my story. Thanks a lot for reading. Hope to hear from you.

In the Beginning

Hey there! You're welcome to my blog. I created this blog with people in mind. People who are suffering from one form of cancer or the other. This blog is about my cancer journey, my diagnosis, my pains and my survival.  It is also going to motivate you because surviving cancer goes beyond chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Good support systems are key too! Cancer is  a monster eating up mankind. It kills our loved ones right in front of us while watch helplessly.  In this blog, I am going to tell you so many things you never really knew about cancer. The different types of cancer affecting each gender in particular. I am a cancer survivor having suffered two types of cancer (kidney and breast ). Cancer is no respecter of age, gender, race or even societal status. It can happen to anybody at anywhere or anytime. But in all of this we find solace in our will to beat cancer and live a normal life.
