It was hard to keep up in school, but I did it. There is a school in the hospital that has games, computers and great teachers like Jackie. After finishing a subject, she let me have 15 minutes of recess on the computer. My school in Appleton and the hospital school stayed in touch. The nurses came to my school and explained what cancer was.
People have all kinds of misconceptions about cancer.
I didn t do anything wrong to get it. The nurses also told my classmates about my Hickman. I got all of my chemo, had blood tests and got all of my medicine through it. I had two different Hickmans. They took the first one out when I had a 106 degree temperature and no white blood cells for more than two weeks.
