Happy new year! It is finally 2018 and how was time able to fly pass us all in a wink of an eye? 2017 was a good year. My first whole year in California. I can not believe that I have been living here in southern California for a year now. I had done many things this year -- a lot of exploring around southern California. I was able to go to the beautiful beaches, to the zoo in San Diego, to Vegas, but most importantly I was able to accomplish and pass all my classes. I am happy to say that I am starting nursing cord in about 2 weeks. I am feeling a bit nervous and excited. I won't however start clinical until mid February, but it will be here before I know it.
 
I was able to order all my books for nursing cord and oh my -- there are a lot for just 3 classes. I bet they are heavy textbooks as well. But nevertheless I am excited. My school nursing uniforms are all ready as well. I had to hem my pants because they were too long, but other than that I'm ready to take on what this year may bring. I know it will be a hard and tough journey ahead. I know that nursing cord won't be anything like my prerequisites classes, however, I hope to continue building onto all the new skills I would be needing for my career later on. I hope to be successful and to do the best I can this year.

Cancer

Ever since the diagnosis of me possibly having parotid cancer that’s may have metastasized to my cervical lymph nodes brought me much anxiety and fear. I still wanted to deny the fact that there must have been a mistake and that this is probably just a benign tumor x 2. But the more I gone back to reread the diagnostic imaging that was done to confirm such diagnosis – I began to question ‘why me’? I was in my second year of nursing school and was set to graduate next year in October. My life was barely starting and now this. My fears begin to eat me away. I wanted to cry. I wanted to scream. I wanted answers to the question ‘why me?’. I wanted to know how I deserve this or the what ‘if’s’. What if that time I felt the bump on my neck and went to the doctor instead of waiting. What if I didn’t negate my health, would it have not been malignant to this point and I wouldn’t have such bad anxiety and fear of the thought that the cancer cells had already spread to every part of my body?

Exhaustion

-
It has only been the second day of nursing classes and I am already tired and exhausted. Today I will have night class until 10 pm and then travel 20-30 minutes to get home. I am tired from staring at my textbook and the computer screen to complete my assignment. I wonder if this is the exhaustion and tiredness that nursing students commented about. I wonder if it will get worst. There is so much information to learn and I wonder if I will be able to retain everything and remember everything. It is overwhelming with much to do but little time for anything. The only break so far that I have to myself is taking time to eat other than that there is no time for me to take a glance at my phone nor watch a drama I had started. Well we will see how this weekend plays out.

New update

-
So it has been a while since I last update. It has been a hacked months with learning about my new diagnosis and treatment plan. After surgery, I was inform that the tumor was indeed malignant (cancer) and not just that but a rare type of cancer call lymphoepithelial carcinoma of the parotid gland. I was devastated and I felt like my whole world was turn upside down. I was hoping that the tumor was benign and I can move on with my life after the surgery. However, to my dismay I was diagnosis with cancer. I would lie if I said that I took the news with great optimistic, but it was nothing like that. For the next couple of days while I was waiting for my oncology appointment for a follow up and to go over the next step in my treatment, I felt hopeless and defeated. I felt like crying as my diagnosis eats me little by little until I felt like I have no energy left in me. There were times in which I thought it would have been better if I was just dead and not have to go through this. B...
