Hello dA. It has been a very long time since I last posted a journal. My oncologist and surgeon both say the cancer has been successfully removed. I hope they are right.

I would like to send my sincere love to the people who held my hand and helped me through the journey, I couldn't of done it without you. And I want to say thank you to my surgeon and his team for believing in me and giving me the chance to survive. The operation I had was extremely long (fifteen hours) and dangerous; not everyone survives it. I am thankful my surgeon thought I could survive it and give me the opportunity to live on. Without the operation I would of had about six months to live, tops.

Unfortunately before my surgery I went through a long, stressful six months of chemotherapy in attempt to shrink the tumour and save my eye. In the end it didn't work and my eye had to be removed in surgery.

I am recovering now and currently waiting for my wounds to heal. Then the next step is plastic surgery and to have a glass eye to replace my removed one. Oh and I am waiting for my hair to grow back. Oh how I miss it, it was so long!

Good news though, my vision is a lot better than I thought it would be. It was terrible at first, but has oddly gotten much better. My poor eye really is working hard to replace the vision I once had. Okay it is not perfect, but I can still use my pc, watch tv if I sit close enough to it, and oddly I am still managing to kind-of draw. I struggle with some things, but I am doing alright at coping with doing the daily things in life.

Some things still aren't going my way, but I am thankful that I got a second chance to live.
