I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends
How they made my birthday special
For anyone who has been following my articles, you know I was diagnosed with metastatic brain, lung, and liver cancer back in April of 2021. I was given 6 months to live but so far I’ve made it 20.
I’m really happy that I’m still around but a lot of times I am just really weak.
My body has become fragile. I think it’s partly due to the chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Recently, I have switched to only having immunotherapy once every 3 weeks. This is easier on my body.
Nevertheless, on my birthday, I had balance issues. I was having a hard time walking without falling down.
So my friends helped me.
One lady carried my purse while another gave me an arm to hold on to. I also had my cane.
Thanks to their help, I was able to have a wonderful birthday celebration.
My friends treated me to a meal at an Austin restaurant with a wide variety of healthy options. The restaurant also had scrumptious drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic.
The drink I had was called a Fiery Lion and it’s a potent combination of Plymouth Gin, Grand Marnier, orange juice, and house-made grenadine syrup.
