| | It took me a couple days to get over this shocking news.
I wasn't even completely out of shock when my condition worsened.
I was at Princess Margaret Hospital doing a CT scan so they could plan radiation treatment when after the scan I blacked out. After reviewing the scan it was discovered that there was liquid surrounding my heart not allowing it to completely pump. I was immediately sent to emergency and admitted into the ICU. My heart rate was around 130-140bpm and when I coughed I would almost black out.
That night they removed the liquid from the heart. Radiation began the next day and Kemo a week later. If the liquid was not removed my heart would have stopped within a week.
Scary...
2 weeks later and i'm discharged from the hospital continuing with radiation and kemo as an outpatient. This battle is far from over.
So 29 years of age, I have lung cancer.
Over 100375 cigarettes smoked in the past 11 years.
If you are reading this and do smoke take this moment to save yourself this unfortunate fate.
