Cancer and other crap.

Hello loves! I have been gone from here for so long. These past 2 years I've been dealing with cancer (osteosarcoma) and it spreading to my lungs. I've had 7 major surgeries and nothing seems to be working... Please keep me in your prayers/send some positive energy- I'll need it in this hard time. Will still be searching for some way to stop this crap from killing me. :) All hope is not yet lost. I'm going to try to spend the rest of my time here creating as much art as I can and sharing it with people. Also, will probably be opening my Etsy shop back up. We need money for any potential therapies and also I'm pretty sure my husband doesn't want to end up with a shit ton of Chibi Cullen charms haha (he's more of a Tali kinda guy) Anyways, sorry for such a crappy update-I wish it was happier

Last one for today--my scanner died so sorry for the poor quality :'( I noticed that kids stare at me when I'm on my wheelchair...and it turns out (I asked XD ) that they basically think that it's the best mode of transportation ever X'D

Hello loves! I'm still alive...though a lot has been happening lately. ⭐I have osteosarcoma. ⭐I'm taking chemo (just finished my 3rd cycle now) ⭐I'm bald ⭐I will have a foot amputation at the end of this month 😐 ⭐I will f-ing get through this and nothing will stop me ☺ As a destresser I started doing a bit of silly doodles/comics about cancer and stuff and decided to post some here 😛 Hope you like them In general, about 95% I meet/talk to are super supportive of the state I'm in and I've never seen so much kindness and selflessness as while I'm sick...but I do get the occasional " wtf " comment that pisses me off. Anyways, here is one of them (I'll try to post them regularly ) Love ya all!! ❤

I needed to do something to take my mind offof the pain...so here is deer girl 😊

Bad news loves...

Ok so here’s the thing loves...remember the whole leg thing? Well it turned out to be bone cancer...

I will be starting chemo this Mon (May 8th) ...and after a few cycles I’ll have a surgery and then a few more cycles of chemo... The pain I’m in is awful and it’s there basically about 80% of the time...and so far I don’t have any decent pain treatment :/  

I can get around on crutches for short distances (like when I’m at work (if I’m at work)) and a wheelchair when I need to get around more. I’m f-ing scared, but I have the support of my friends and my bf...so it’s a bit better :) Anyways, that’s why I have been away from Tumblr for so long and why I have not been posting anything I love ya all and I’ll keep you updated!

soo I’m jumping on the bandwagon and decided to do the cosplay aesthetic thingies! Here’s my Ciri (Witcher) and Crystal (Inhumans) :D

Update: still alive

Ok I’m sooo sooo sorry that I’ve been uber non responsive...here’s what’s been going on in the past month:

The negative:

my leg is still not ok-still don’t know what’s wrong with it...still might be cancer. Had 1 biopsy and will prob have to have another one

sprained my ankle b/c apparently my surgeon screwed up a nerve in my leg and I don’t feel properly with my heel--so back on crutches :/

my granddad died...and I had to do all the funeral arrangements by myself (because of reasons I’d rather not discuss publicly)--lots of stress, lots of running around, lots of spending money I don’t have

the funeral is tomorrow

problems at work --b/c of someone messing up I might not be paid for 10 days of sick leave

The positive

I’m in a relationship...yup the demi-sexual and overly introverted me is in an actual relationship XD

might be in an awesome photoshoot next Sun--that is if I can get onto a horse with my crappy leg

mum came to visit--mostly for the funeral and though I know I’ll probably get into a million fights with her...I did miss her horribly :)

turns out my Witchery friend are the awesomest people ever and I really found out who I could count on in the past few weeks

just feel all warm and nice inside b/c of my new relationship (that or I’m getting a fever X’D )

Yup ...so all that’s been happening... Love ya all and I’ll try my best to post from time to time, but I need things to sort themselves out

[skart87]

Still alive. Though hardly. Still don't know what's wrong with my leg...I've sortabecame a nervous wreck b/c of it...and in the meantime I got bronchitis. .. So still alive and still on hiatus

Leg update

An update I won’t be posting on fb b/c I really don’t want some of my friends /family to see it…but I need to post it somewhere…

I’m going to have a biopsy next Thurs/Fri…and I’m f-ing terrified…the pain is excruciating (even on pain meds) and I’m so afraid I can’t breathe … I’m putting on my good face, I joke with friends, make plans and when the pain gets unbearable I say I feel “bad.” I don’t want want anyone (though I think my grandma is slowly starting to guess it) to know b/c I don’t want them to be as worried as I am and I don’t want to hear for the n-th time “everything is going to be alright,” but at the same time I wish someone could hold me and and just tell me that they’ll be there even if NOTHING will be alright

I’m sorry for this rant…I’m just so fucking scared…needed to get this off my chest
