San Francisco Giants

 Landed in SFO took the train because my lazy ass friend forgot to pick me up haha, but it's all good! He's lucky I had my hand sanitizer on me haha.

Chillen in #sanfrancisco watching the game, well actually listening to the game from the outside of the park. Doing it big down in the #bayarea, #at&tpark. I actually can't wait for tomorrow to chill with my dudes and gals. Again hit me up if you like to tag along or meet up! Also have 3 extra tickets for Fridays game if you need any!

Who's going to Cali?!..This guy right here!!!

The last time I went to a Giants game was a year ago with my crazy mom,Wal, Matt, my brotha, and my grandparents. Let me tell you this, you go to a game with my mom you will pee your pants. I was shocked to hear the things this woman was yelling during the game! She is a true Giants fan and I love her. Unfortunately, my family will not be at the next 3 giants vs padres games, I will be rocking out with my other Cali family! I'm very excited to be going back to my second home and spending the next few days with my friends and just partying it up like the old times. I'm gonna live it up tomorrow when I land in SF till Monday morning since I have another surgery to go through in 2 weeks. So my people! If you want to get down with the Hunt Man hit me up! Also if you want to send mail to Tyler I'll give you the address. Send lots of candy he said haha! But California...here I come!

Attitude

My cancer has been one of the most influential teachers I have had in my life. The greatest lesson I have learned is that attitude is everything. If I say I am going to have a bad day today, I will most likely have a bad day. If I let myself believe I am too tired to get off the couch my head will stay on the pillow and my feet will never touch the floor.


Attitude is everything. When I lost my hair I embraced not having to shave or get a haircut. When chemotherapy robbed me I welcomed the opportunity to try new foods and flavor combinations. In a few weeks it will be time for surgery and I know it is going to knock me down. But when surgery knocks me down, I will get back up, come back stronger and dare cancer to try and push me down again. I refuse to simply exist. Life is meant to be lived, that is my attitude. Attitude is everything.

Surgery #2&3

So tomorrow, June 5 I will be having surgery done and hoping and praying everything will go well. Also praying to beat this cancer and go on doing the things I love to do. It really does suck when you are held back by cancer. So I will be in the hospital for awhile, they say about 2 weeks and I wish it would be sooner since I hate hospital but recovery is going to take time. This time I don't want visitors only family is allowed to visit. Sorry friends I rather not have you guys see me in pain or bring germs around me. My mom will keep everyone updated so just check back to my blog. Thanks everyone for the support and love!

The hallways in my mind seem so long to travel, Lost in my thought its a constant battle, as the lids close and the lights are out, the wheels turn the mind shouts, screams for assurance of a safe tomorrow, but unanswered questions always follow, faith life disease stand on the brain, insomnia creeps through my veins, no matter what I try to do, sleeps not an option with what I'm going through, I try I try I try again, but a coward called cancer settles in, through my blood it strokes back and forth, making all the whites start to morph, finally when I can't take no more, my body shuts down like the night before, in mere hours ill rise with a new regard, the courage to fight that can't be jarred, my will has changed from slumber time, where only dark surrounds my mind, now a light is coming through, I see my mission and what I have to do, each day i grow with a knowledge assured, that this blood thirsty creature fears my spoken word, try and win I laugh aloud, ill live a life that makes me proud, you will not win you won't you cant, my hope is as high as the angels chant, these days of sun preparing me for war, the fear of night haunts me no more, until the day I'm cancer free, ill fight like hell to make me be.

Matthew's Update: 5/3/2012

The past few days Matthew has been out of it, but we are doing the best we can as a family to stay positive for him. Yesterday, 4/2, for Matthews check up, CT scan, we got news that we did not want to hear. His cancer is spreading to other lymph glands of his abdonmen. There is more to it, but I rather not mention all of Matthew's business on hear. He has been inside hiding the past 2 days, so if anyone is looking for him that's where he is. We tried getting him out of the house, but he rather stay inside and do nothing. If anyone can get him out of his zone that would be wonderful. Thank you all for all your prayers, gifts, and support during this time it means a lot to Matt and the family.


Matt's next chemo session is hopefully tomorrow if all his blood count is good. Also no visitors during the next few weeks. The nurses have a limited visitation policy for us now sorry friends. I will try to keep everyone updated. Thank you.

Update 4/16/2012

Little update on my amazing life....I had chemo today and wasn't a good day. First off, the nurse accidentally went right through my vein and hit a nerve in my wrist and hurt like a motherfudger! After all that pain, I guess chemo went alright since I had two bags until I got home and that's when everything hit me so I decided what I do everyday is to sleep lol and so I did! Besides that I really do appreciate everything that my family and friends do for me, I wouldn't know what to do especially without my mom. Without my mom I would probably be in worst conditions, she truly is an amazing woman and happy that shes by my side through everything, even though she can be a pain in my butt when I want my space,  but I'm glad to have her around.
So I'll try and do my best to keep you guys updated, but I believe my mom will start doing that since she said she will stay on top of it. So thanks again for all your support and check back next time!

Tube Or No Tube?

No tube!!!! I finally get my ng tube removed and my chest tubes removed tomorrow. I'm not looking forward with the chest tubes because those tubes deep in my chest and the hot nurse told me its painful and very uncomfortable. Other than that, I get to finally go home Monday! And then a few days after that I start chemo every week but it all depends on my white blood cells count. So I still have a long way to go but I'm not giving up till I reach finish line. Thanks fam and friends for visiting and sending gifts it means a lot and I know I have many supporters. I'll keep you guys updated.

Surgery Update

Hello my friends, family, stalkers, randoms, whoever or whatever you are! So surgery was a BLAST! Nah I'm kidding I was in the operating room for about 8 hours. Surgery went good there were no complications. They removed the growth on my lower esophagus and used a piece of my small intenstine to attach it to the lower part and to my stomach. Sounds gross I know! After surgery I was in a lot of pain. I couldn't move, coughing and yawning hurt so bad, and I was just in pain all over. Especially with the tubes attached to me, the chest tube is the worst, my NG tube is annoying because its hard to talk with it and breath. But hey its keeping me alive!


The past couple of days I have been walking around to get my exercise and not get any blood clots or whatever, coughing and breathing exercises to keep the lungs clear of fluid so I dont get pneumonia or other sicknesses. I'm still in pain, unfortunately I will be staying in the hospital for more than a week, its too bad because I didn't pack enough gameboy and psp  games for that long.


Hopefully this is a fast recovery, but I dont want to rush through anything and also I want to thank my peeps who visit me and all the nice food baskets and flowers lol. Thank you for teasing me with the food that I can not eat and watched my friends and family eat it in front of me and I guess my mom is starting a flourist shop with all my plants I got haha! But seriously thank you everyone, it means a lot!

Surgery

So today I'm having surgery done. They are going to cut part of my lower esoph and replacing it with a tube and if that doesn't work they will take a piece of my small intestine and use that. I'm a little nervous but whatever is going to make me better, I'm up for it. Besides that I packed my gameboys, movies, laptop, ipod, I'm all set for this week stay at the hospital. Check back later tonight and I'll have my mom or someone update how everything is going.

"You Have Cancer"

At age 22 you don't want to hear your doctor tell you, you have cancer. I thought I was invincible, however cancer changed everything from that moment I got the news.
I wasn't expecting going to get checked out and leaving with cancer. When I heard those words "you have cancer"....it was a numbing feeling and I just put my head down and looked up at my mom in confusion and smiled at her.

Another thing is that, it's the worst feeling having to tell your family and friends the news. I was just running everything in my head how am I gonna say this. I just told them everything that's going on with me and my condition and told them to be just positive and don't look at me differently because I don't want anything to change. Treat me like you have always treated me and keep it that way.

I'm glad I have the friends and family who are by my side. Without them this would be a lonely journey I will have to face. I'm glad I don't have to suffer through all this alone, I have my loved ones with me for the ride.

I know there is going to be up and downs on this jounrey for me but I'm ready for this battle and I'll fight till the end.
