That morning really did start like any other. I don't think i had heard of leukemia at that point. Schizophrenia - yes as my mother has it. When i say mother, i mean my birth mother. I currently live in foster care as mum is back in the lock up...(sounds mean i know, but there is no point in beating about the bush.)
Anyway back to the leukemia stuff. Its actually hard to remember back to this day. It has been such a whirlwind since then...
I was at my friend Jess's house. I was sitting on the floor cheating on my maths homework (sorry Mr. Fisher) i was way too tired the night before to do it myself. Anyway i was copying in Jess's answers and trying to shave my legs at the same time.
"Jesus Mary and Mother of Christ " i shouted as i pulled away a small piece of skin out of the razor. - YES it was gross. It pissed it out with blood everywhere. i was left holding up this little flap of skin. I squelched, yes squelched it back into place and grabbed a wetwipe out of the canister on Jess's table. Jess always had these as her little brother Michael was in nappies still.
Speaking of whom, he made an appearance at that time, obviously attracted to the loud noises in the room. He pointed at my leg and said "BOO BOO".
So really my first diagnosis of cancer was a cancer called 'Boo Boo' and was by a 2 year old. Typical Huh!!
so for all of those with cancer BOO BOO. Please read and follow my blog updates. I shall be adding in posts from my original written diary at times, but others will be my social conscience discussing what i think about the world and the people in it.
Anyway over and out SAM (antha)
