Posts Tagged ‘colon cancer’

I am a 31 years old female, I had a liver transplant nearly 12 years ago.Since my transplant I tried my best to live a normal life but very soon I was diagnoised with early colon cancer and had a permanant ileostomy agains my will. but I tried to be positive, got married, start university to study pharmacy got pregnant and beautiful son (5years old). find study hard but I was keep going, even my first uni was so unsupportive toward my medical needs after 2 years I changed uni and start all again. I was due to do my second year exams last week but I fall very sick and I was diagnise with severe Acute Renal (kidney) failure. had to stay in hospital for a week and they chenged my anti rejection and discharged me last friday.
Since I came home, I haven’t left the sofa, can’t bother to do anythings. feel so low. uni depressing me as I prospond it too many time. I used to care too much about my physical appearance and had personal trainer to keep me in shape, but now I am sitting on sofa, can’t bother to read or even watch tv. just bing on calorie free (low calorie food) I look into new gym (virgin active) and employing new personal trainer but I am so scared to spend money for myself as I don’t even know I am commited or just will waste it.
10 days time uni will start again but it seems I don’t care. have no family or friend near by. some call and say don’t worry slowly slowly everythings will be ok. but hearing this angry me. I always use to be positive and I believe mypositive frame of mind pulled me through my transplant and other treatments but I lost all my energy and hope and see myself as a waste of space and time.

every day Iam worry about the side effect of this new anti rejection drug and even more I feel Iam getting bigger and bigger and thats killing me ( as I always had self image issue and weight isuue and little bit of body dysmorohic, its not a much surprise to all my image altration that happen to me in such a yong age)
I want to lose weight as I used to be but I have no motivation or energy to move around.
:-(
Sorry

…while men’s health issues are relatively ignored?
Why do (presumably) women’s health sites and organizations vastly outnumber those for men?
Why is there a hospital in Richmond dedicating an ENTIRE ƒUCKlNG FLOOR to surgery for just women, that would necessarily reject any man with an identical condition?
Why does breast cancer receive more funding then any other disease, when it can often be self-diagnosed and while colon cancer kills twice as many people?
Can the gap in life expectancy be attributed to any of this sexism?
