The last two weeks of my life have been so hectic that to actually be able to sit down and document the events seems unreal to me. Do you have one of those friends? One of those friends that has been there.. literally. Sat next to you in a doctors office and cheered you up? Taken the seat as 2nd priority because they understand your flares of selfishness, not only do they accept it, but they shrug it off with a smile and say.."oh, that's just my girl/boy they'll come around." ? A friend so dear to you that the mere thought of losing your phone calls, visits, and moments together make you all queezy in the stomach? I do. His name is Trent, and for the past years of my life he has stepped up to the plate when NO ONE else would. His loyalty and devotion to friendship is so admirable, and he genuinely cares about me. He accepts me for who I am. All of me. All of my quirks, bells and whistles. There will never be another one like him. He's the truest form of a friend, and I am so lucky to have him in my life. We are going to see Ms. Shayna Steele perform this weekend, and I CANNOT WAIT! He's sexual.. she's sexual... it's just gonna be a sexual event!
Things in Atlanta have been good. I feel at home here, and I love the beautiful man I'm with and the amazing life we are building together. I've been seeing the doctors at Emory Medical Center here in Atlanta, and up until this week the prognosis has been fairly good. I had an ultrasound last week and it proved to show that I have 6 new tumors in my neck. She is recommending another surgery, but I'm skeptical. I'm not sure if that's the route I want to take just yet. There is a procedure that's non-invasive that I'm looking into, and I hope it can be an alternative. I'm scared and meek because I have so much to lose. I love my life. At this time I miss an old friend. One that understood the scars and smells of hospitals, and the importance of living life to the fullest.
The cervical cancer is also back. I'm dealing with it. It's not spread.. so atleast I can say they have it under control.
I'm loving the fall. I'm loving my life. Most importantly I'm appreciating my life.
I hope each and every one of you are enjoying the fall.
Carpe Diem.
