| So whats my story? Well, 2007 was a life changing year for me. I had high hopes and lots of plans. I had just started a new job, my girlfriend and I were planning some big steps together and everything felt like it was in place to be a year to remember. Then, just as everything was moving along nicely I discovered something rather shocking, I discovered I had cancer. |
At the time I was 26 years old. I was young, healthy, I didn't smoke, I wasn't a big drinker. Yes I could probably been even healthier, but the point is that I definitely wasn't abusing myelf. I was petrified, I didn't really know what was going on. I had an operation to remove the tumor which was successful but needed chemotherapy to kill the remaining cells which had spread to one of my Lymph nodes. The treatment sounded pretty straight forward, I needed 15 weeks of chemotherapy called BEP. Its a combination of three drugs and is actually a highly effective form of chemo. However when the treatment started it was horrid, the feelings of nausea, the hair loss, the ringing in the ears and tingling in your hands and feet. All of it combined made the 15 weeks hellish. That said, it worked, and that means it was worth it, the cancer has now been defeated and I'm on the road to recovery. While holed up in bed though you get thinking and one of the things I was thinking about was my health. As I said before I wasn't unhealthy but having a life changing illness really drove me forward to achieve my best body. And thats exactly the plan! Come August 6th 2007, when I should be fully recovered from my treatment I am going to begin my journey to achieveing my perfect body - Follow me here! |
