I went to see a friend of mine who I haven't seen in a year. Our daughters are in the same school. I ended up tutoring her eldesr daughter a little in watercolour and it turned out to be something really cool. I taughter her how to paint a duck based off of one of my paintings... It was a really enjoyable evening.
I love doing this kind of tutoring.

Three weeks ago
Three weeks ago I received a call from the hospital asking me to go there to see them. I learned from that meeting that they had found cancer in me again, this time it's in my uterus. As a result I had to go to a blood test last week, Hilariously, it took 4 needles so they could get 5 tubes of blood from me. This week I had a CT scan, and today I received a phone call from my oncologist with news of the scans. It was a strange kind of good news. No new changes in the tumours that were already there. And I was ok for treatments for the uterine cancer. Now, it's the waiting for the Corana virus disease to die down and become manageable. Tomorrow I have to take my daughter to the hospital for her own follow ups. In other news: I had spent the entire afternoon nailing down the final malfunction with my computer. This had gone on since December. And today it finally got fixed. So I was able to work on this character. Her name is Sappho. She is the main character I am writing about. I am
March 2020
We enter 2020 with so many challenges. January 2020 tossed my daughter through a crucible no one foresaw. She is finally safe at home after 3 surgeries, 2 stays in ICU due to Sepsis and 7 weeks in the hospital. February, we lost a very beautiful soul. One of my favourite artists, Qinni. And Covid-19 rampaged across the world. Now, March is upon us; and many countries are under lockdown because of Covid-19. It brings into sharp relief the nature of human beings. There's a ridiculous panic spreading across the human race. A lot have raised their ugly face: profiteering and scamming, and rampant meanness. Myself, I found out that there's cancer in my uterus as well. Now my doctors are meeting to confer what can be done to help me. I'm not afraid. I'm more determined to get through this, I have dreams I want to fulfill. I am hoping that there will be a continued grace of unconditional love and kindness. The beauty of humanity. A kind beauty that will take use through the hardest
What's on my plate 2020
The truth about what I have. "Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an inherited disorder characterised by cancer of the large intestine (colon) and rectum. People with the classic type of familial adenomatous polyposis may begin to develop multiple noncancerous (benign) growths (polyps) in the colon as early as their teenage years." (Wikipedia) Mine developed into cancer and got diagnosed in January 2018. That cancer had gone to my liver, and I had undergone surgeries and chemo to fight it all of 2018 and 2019. And in 2018, I had undergone DNA research to see what it is I have. The FAP-syndrome diagnosis that was proven inherited from my father and after my kids got tested, we found that my eldest daughter inherited it too. Which is why her surgery was necessary. It was so she could avoid cancer. But complications happened after the surgery, so she was in ICU twice and spent 6+ weeks in the hospital. (which is why my work was put on pause the entire February) That's my story
I am still here
Hello!
I am sorry that I have been away for so long and not having told anyone what has happened to me. I am so deeply sorry. I am still processing it myself.
I was diagnosed with Colon cancer in January 2018, after a trip to the ER and surgery to remove a tumour and half of the diseased large intestine. All of 2018 had been about surgeries and Chemotherapy. And now we are in 2019, 4 surgeries and 6 months of chemo later, I am still being tested and my schedule is left open for trips to the hospital. I am without a large intestine, a gallbladder and a part of my liver.
I am still trying my best to cope with everything. I don't know what th
