My Whereabouts

I can't believe it's been a whole full year since my last post wow. To anyone reading this (if there is even anyone lol), hello, I hope you are doing amazing today. It's so hard to convey a year long whereabout in one post but I'll try really hard to summarize where I've been and what I've been doing. If you're reading this, please do try to stay and read everything.d

I was diagnosed with stage 2 papillary thyroid cancer almost a year ago. It was such a scary experience and to be honest, I still don't know if it sunk in yet that I actually /had/ the C word. Yes. Cancer. Never in a million years did I except to get it. You know, you go day to day thinking you'll never get it and then bam, you have it. At first I didn't want to believe it. Like, out of all the serial killers and pedophiles, I'm the one to get cancer. How unfair right? Life is always unfair. To make matters worst than it already is, I was put on the urgent list of surgeries. The cancer was as big as a golf ball. Had radioactive iodine therapy and was given the "based on the result, it is very clear that you have no evidence of any metastasis cancer cells." Cancer free since June 2018. Forever on a Synthroid maintenance.

I also graduated college 2 months ago! I found out I was cancer free the day after my convocation. Anyways, after 5 years of on-and-off relationship with college, I was finally able to graduate. My diagnosis came during my last semester. Honestly, I thought I wouldn't be able make it in time but my lovely professors had helped me so so much! They were so understanding and its quite touching. The one that went above and beyond was my Statistics professor. We had a heart to heart talk about my situation and how he's going to accommodate me, I cried in front of him. All my professors were amazing though.

I also went to a Seventeen concert!!! This was way way back in August 2017. I was contemplating whether to go or save up for Wanna One because duh Minhyun and Seongwoo and Wanna One was going to disband but I fought my own demons and decided to see my bias group. It was such a surreal experience. I will never forget it. Though the organizer was a fail, from not sending the Carat bongs in time and putting huge ass speakers on the left side of the venue so most of us couldn't see the front. I kept moving and the bodyguard might have been pissed so he moved me to VIP instead. I didn't take a lot of photos. I will never understand the concept of just taking photos and videos during concerts to the point you're literally watching it from your phone. I paid 500 bucks for my sister and I, I AM SEEING THEM WITH MY ACTUAL EYES. Here's one of the few photos I took.

I don't have a decent photo because I was screaming and jumping the whole time.

Now you know where I've been and what I did. I was in the hospital most of the time. Getting poked by needles and getting radiation and being unhealthy. I still feel a lot like meeh up until now. My endo told me that sometimes it takes a whole year to adjust my Synthroid medicine to the right dosage so I might feel fatigued and just basically dead tired all the time. I also developed vertigo after getting a biopsy. This is the culprit of why I couldn't attend one of my best friend's funeral. He died a few days before my birthday last year. Died of bone cancer.
