Hey guys, it's Cas/Em/whatever you wanna call me. This isn't....a happy story. So buckle up, be prepared.

Warnings: cancer, mention of death, hospital, chemo, transplant, that kind of stuff. Maybe language.

So, I was diagnosed with lymphoma in November of 2018. This was a big shock. It had started as shoulder pain, something I just counted as a strained muscle. Well I went to the doctor and they x-rayed it, showing a shadow in my chest.

There was a 10×12×11 cm tumor in the right side of my chest, taking up half the room for my lung. It was cancerous so I went through chemo and radiation.

Kicker to the story: last year, in around October of 2019, it came back. So obviously, just treating it wouldn't work. So, my doctors decided to do a Bone Marrow Transplant, or a BMT.

Basically, they destroy my immune system and give me a new one from donor stem cells. That way, I don't have the cancerous cells that can make me relapse again.

Well, this is a risky thing to do, even if they are doing everything they can to make it safe. There's always unexpected circumstances. So I'll be in isolation for a month starting around the 13th or 14th of February (this month).

Ok, I know, sob story. I'm not looking for sympathy, I'm just updating y'all. This is why my update schedule has been, and will be, wonky. I know there's some of you that are here for every oneshot as I update. And I'm really sorry that it's so...sporadic. I honestly am.

I can't help what I'm going through, and I'm sorry that I can't always update daily like I try to.

Another thing is that I do online school. Therefore, my focus is on my studies. I wanna be ahead so I don't get too stressed during the transplant.

I hope you guys understand, I really do. I love you all 💚💚
