New Term

-
Hi, so first week of the new term has just started. It has been going well, however, I can say that the overwhelming feeling is hovering over my head. There are lots of assignments, tests, and reading this term and with 2 hard courses it is going to be hard. I had already started working on assignments ahead of the weeks just to save me that time to read and study. I am a bit overwhelm at the moment with how much readings that goes into this term. It is only the first week but I am already over it. 

I heard this term is going to be a tough one, but I guess its all about the outlook and the attitude that you as a student bring to the table. That being said, my classes are earlier so I am still getting back into the morning routine with feeling like I did not get enough sleep the night before. It amazing how I am still surviving nursing school. Nevertheless, I hope to accomplish many things this term. One will be to overcome my classes and pass. I hope to learn more about medications and hopefully be able to find a good balance between both of my classes. I hope to achieve A's in both classes and if that's not the case, I just hope to passes my class and move on ward with the next term.

Though it does feel a bit overwhelming with the first week going by and not knowing what to expect on the quizzes and test, I do feel that I am capable of passing intro to med surg and pharmacology. Yes, there will be sacrifices, late night studies, tiredness and endless reading, but at the end of the day I am doing this for myself and for my future, so I have to put in the efforts and extra hard work.

My biggest fear will be not passing pharmacology. I feel like med surg will just be how fundamentals is. If I study her PowerPoint and don't fall behind I can pass, however, pharmacology is a beast and its different. we have no powerpoint for guidance, so I hope that I can find a good way to study around with no powerpoints.

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...
