THE DRUGS CAN KILL YOU

I guess you are wondering if I am starting to go on my year long trip. In actuality I am going to Costa Rica for four weeks, just to get away. A trip we have been planning for for many months. I am including this trip, because I wanted to tell you about what I am going through to get my medications while I am traveling and the trials and tribulations of the process. As you can guess, I now have to start all over again in regards to what I need help with obtaining while on my one year journey. I have asked International SOS for help in getting my blood tests, which I need every month to be sent to my doctor, and cat scans, but I have not requested help as of yet with the Affinitor and the Everolimus, because I am not sure that one, I will tolerate it and two, if it will work.

Being sick, ill, infirm, deceased, cancerous, or whatever you want to call it, it is no fun. I started to think that I am taking all of these medications and they, not the cancer, will kill me. I started to question, maybe I would be better off if I just did not take anything and let nature take its course. It could be another 17 years before I bit the dust without taking any medication. The side effects that I was forced to hear about are those that would scare just about anyone if they had to take this stuff. The drugs list side affects, which includes every conceivable dire warning, plus death. One must question, is it worth it? Right now the new drugs seem to be agreeing with me. I guess time will tell if it is working.

Now I am getting too heavy! I just do not want to be thought of one of these happy, go lucky, idiot types. That does not know, or does not want to accept what is. I do think about all that my diagnoses has set before me. I am just not going to allow it to take over my whole being and stop me from enjoying the rest of my life. However long it may be. I am going to travel, see the world and have fun!

Diagnosis or not, world here I come.
