But in August 2009, she developed a blueberry-sized tumour, and rushed to a dentist where she was given a biopsy.



After undergoing surgery on August 21, 2009 to remove the tumour, the cancer returned twice – in October 2017 and October 2019.

As I visit the cancer center for chemotherapy to treat my CLL, I can’t help but take note of how different cancer may look in each person. Having chemotherapy for my chronic lymphocytic leukemia is like walking on a pond of ice. I feel like I’m always wondering if and when it’s going to crack. Every time I check in with the receptionist and the nurse calls my name, I wonder, will my blood pressure be in a good range? I’ve learned to keep both legs on the ground and not to cross them. Will my temperature be normal? What will my blood chemistry reveal today? I’ve learned to wear a short-sleeved shirt even though the room is cold. Have I lost more weight? I’ve learned to check my weight at home before going to the cancer center, so I can compare it with the weight on their scale. Usually, their scale is right on target with mine. All these concerns are lingering in my head, like the cloud over Charlie Brown.
