I’ve been wanting to do this with TJ for awhile now but haven't gotten around to it until now. Today we did an impromptu Questions and Answers video session. TJ’s blog has mainly been from my perspective as a parent. I wanted to give you all a snippet of how TJ has felt during his cancer experience-from his point of view. I hope that it isn’t too cringe-worthy to watch (Excuse my Umm's). We wanted to keep it real and not edit anything out. Including Tj's purple fluffy socks that he was wearing at the time ;) and me talking over the top of him occasionally- sorry! 🤭 **In the video, TJ made a small mistake in explaining his chemo cycle. His chemo cycle began on a Friday, Saturday and Sunday. He then had a shot of Peg Filgrastim (immunity booster) on the Monday. Four days after that he finished his last treatment for that cycle (Friday). It is all very confusing and would explain why he couldn’t remember it correctly. TJ also forgot to mention that he experienced tiredness and moodiness during his chemotherapy treatments (side effects)- but obviously this affected us more than it did him because he didn't even remember. lol. Please remember that cancer affects everyone differently. This could include different treatments, medications, side effects, results, attitude, outcome. etc. I haven't mentioned this in TJ's blog until now but his Grandma (My mum) passed away from Lung Cancer this year after a year long battle with the disease. Her experience was very different from TJ's. We cannot compare TJ's Cancer to hers but we have been able to learn from her experience. Prior to my mum's diagnosis, I knew very little about Cancer and what some-one with Cancer has to go through. I now know more than I wish I had to :( I hope that in some way this blog and TJ's cancer experience is able to help one of you out there. If you need someone to talk to or have a question that you would like answered, please feel free to contact us via the contact button. x
