Catch Up...

A few years back, I lost my dad to a heart attack. I truly thought my HUGE life obstacles were done. Little did I know, I was in for a big surprise. Everything about me changed. My personality, looks, and actions. An MRI later showed the ugly face of a tumor. I went through several weeks of radiation. That wasn't working quite well, the next treatment meant a port(a small, round button that leads to a big artery). As I was slowly getting worse, my swallowing took a turn for the worst. Most of what I was consuming was going to my lungs instead of my stomach. I went in for the surgery for the port, expecting to spend 1 night in the hospital. I remember waking up from the surgery and not being able to breath well. That's about it. I was unaware of my surroundings for 7 days. No one expected me to wake up. I was expected to live 12 more hours. I was told my lungs collapsed. That was 3 months ago.=) With the help of my mom I am doing much better. I can't walk, talk, or eat but that will all come back with work as the tumor shrinks! Today my best friend, Corry, came by and brought me nail polish. I felt like my normal self. I am doing a chemo(it does not make my hair fall out) every other week and an oral kind 5 days out of every month. I am going to the hospital Monday for another round of chemo. I try to have as much fun as I can. I love music and books, they help a lot along with my computer.
I appreciate everyone's prayers and I really hope you guys keep it up.

Love, Daniela
