“Life is
full of difficulties and challenges we have to face.”
-Linda St.
Clair
My grandmother had to go through
cancer. When she first found out she had cancer it was hard for her to accept
that fact, and even harder for her to tell us, her family. She didn't want us
to worry, but she was thankful that we were all really supportive and that we
were watching out for her. When she first started her chemotherapy. She said
she went through a lot of pain. Chemotherapy makes your stomach hurt
and you don't want to eat anything. It also makes you achy and really tired.
You can also get sick really easily so you couldn't go places really.
She had to take drugs from December to May,
six months. Sometimes the nurses had to wear gloves and masks so they wouldn't
get the drugs on them. Then radiation came and she had to have that every day
for seven weeks. It made her really tiered, it also acted like a sunburn and
your skin would peel off. She had to have surgery several times. After all the
cancer was over it was still really hard sometimes. She went and bought a huge
Costco cake for the nurses and doctors. She is happy that it is all over. But
she doesn't feel like she is a hero just another person who went through
cancer.
I think
that she is a hero, but that is just my opinion. She is and inspiration to
others who have cancer and who are going through trials. She was willing to go
around to others in the hospital who had cancer and say, “If I can do it, so
can you.” She went through a huge trial, it was a matter of life and death, and
she succeeded. She was fighting for the good of her family. We wouldn’t be able
to do a lot of things without her.
I learned
that we should be grateful for what we have because we could lose it all in a
moment. We should try and face the trials we have instead of hiding for them.
We have to fight for what we want otherwise we will fail. In other words “keep
your eyes on the prize.” We can apply this in our life in many ways. Maybe you
have a trial that is hard for you, then you can think of others who have had
harder trials than the one you are facing. Then you can think, if that can face
that, then I can do this trial.
