Jmec Thing Monologue
- I just can't get one up on that bastard!
- You will if you let go of the JMEC thing...

and get your head straight.

The business world keeps pushing you aside.
Just get the message, Brother.

Accept who...

and what you are and do what you're meant to be doing.

Letting go is not one of my strengths.

Just try, Brother!
You and I can be kings again...

and build our own empire.

Listen - but you have to commit.

- You guys can come in again.
- Sure, Doc.

- Is everything okay?
- Yes. The doctor says I'm healing well.

- That's good news.
- It is.

I'll get my assistant to let me know when your first chemotherapy session is.

Actually, I've decided not to go for chemo.

Excuse me?

I want to do the breast augmentation as soon as possible.
…show more content…
- It's too dangerous.
- So is driving if you're inexperienced.

Do you know how many motorbike accidents
I've seen come through the hospital?

- Half of the victims didn't survive.
- I'm a pro. I'll ride slowly.

I promise.

- You trust me, right?
- Yes, but...

Stop worrying.

I'll bring you back home safely...

and in a better mood.

There.

- Ready?
- Yes.

Okay.

I can see you're close to Wandile, so I thought it best to speak to you.

I assume this is about her not wanting to have chemo.

She's overwhelmed by the setback, but what's a few years if it can guarantee your health?

- That's exactly what I told her.
- She's made an emotional decision.

I don't think she realises the risks involved.

- What will happen if she doesn't do it?
- Chances are she will be fine.

But?

Chemotherapy is the only way to kill off the remaining cancer cells we might have missed.

If we don't do it, there's a chance the cancer will flare up again.

In that case, it's worth waiting a few years.

It is, but can you convince her of that?

We'll try our best.

I have to go finish my rounds.
Let me know how it goes.

Thanks, Doc.

I can't believe she's playing with her life like this.

You know how stubborn she can

    B before a decision can be made. The benefits of palliative chemotherapy for Mrs. B would be that her life could be prolonged of approximately two months and her quality of life could be increased (Temel et al., 2010, p. 739). Additional benefits would include some symptom control by shrinking the tumor sites, and Mrs. B would be able to have a sense of control over what happens to her (Best et al., 2000, p. 3). The risks of palliative chemotherapy are the high cost of chemotherapy medications and a large amount of support is needed from the family due to complications associated with these drugs. Some of these side effects could include nausea, vomiting, fatigue, gastrointestinal problems and alopecia (Williamson, 2012, pp.…

    I’ve always been the active type and kept my body in shape throughout my youth. Healthy eating habits and an active lifestyle allowed me to feel confident for my future quality of life as an older woman. I never thought being diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer would be the determining factor of how the last days of my life would be. Stage IV, is the later or advanced stage, refers to breast cancer that has already spread to other parts of the body when it is first diagnosed (Bellenir 2009). This means I am no longer getting treated because a cure is no longer possible in my case. Although being diagnosed with cancer has cut my life short, my outlook and attitude towards life has never been more positive and fulfilling.…

    With, this came obsticles that would push her to the limit, considering that, staying healthy was her biggest concern. Chemotherapy made that a tough task, food tasted bland, and made her feel sick through most of the treatment yet, she stayed strong through the whole thing. This was delightful for me, and everyone else, knowing that she would be with us for more days to come. The recovery days of treatment went smoother, and now she is cancer free. Bringing an end to the story, my aunt has shed light on how unpredictable life’s battles could be. When looking back on this event, it wasn’t just my Aunt that learned a lesson, the rest of the family learned to value each bother…

    How Cancer Changed My Life

    Elke found out that she had cancer when she was only about 25 years old, age does not matter to cancer, and it does not discriminate. The thought of watching her go through this at such a young age was just unimaginable. I have learned to start being more aware of my own health, after seeing her have to fight so hard, I had no choice. With the history of cancer in my family and what she went through, I decided to be proactive and the day after she passed away I went for a mammogram because the earlier cancer is detected, the better the outcome. I have an appointment to have a hysterectomy, and have had many MRIs to scan for migraine problems and check for cancer. Elke battling so hard just opened my eyes to see how fast things can happen and with no warning. She had to go through many tests, chemotherapy, and she was sick all of the time. The medications and chemotherapy and radiation break down the immune system and made her more susceptible to other illnesses. I didn’t want to have to go through all of that, it was awful to watch her go through it, but she did and…

    Commemorative Speech

    Tall, luscious, long, brown hair, beautiful brown eyes, and has the maturity level of a five year old. Rachel Steele was a popular girl who loved volleyball as much as a fat kid loves chocolate cake. Kind, strong headed, sweet spirited, loving, strong in the gospel, and always wanting to make people laugh shaped Rachel into a true young woman. Never in a million years would you think a girl like this would have to deal with such a hard trial. Playing volleyball was the only thing Rachel loved to do. Two weeks before nationals headaches started to come that wouldn’t go away for days. Thinking it was mono Rachel went to the doctors to get the diagnoses. Doctors are always there to help inform you about your symptoms but at that moment Rachel Steele wished she could rewind and never hear those dreadful words that came out of the doctor’s mouth, you have cancer. “I wasn’t afraid to die at first. I was just thinking ‘what about volleyball?’ because volleyball was my life.” Throughout her treatments though, Rachel prayed for her life and became less focused on sports. All she wanted to do was get through this year alive. The only cure to her cancer was five rounds of chemo therapy, and staying in the hospital for a year. Many people would breakdown and cry, in fact that’s what I did when I found out the news. But not this girl. Rachel started a blog that she updated every couple days to keep her friends and family informed on how she was doing. Some days were better than others, but she always kept a good attitude. Worn down, exhausted, skin and bone, no hair, excruciating pain, and still a smile on her face. “Losing my hair was the worst. I would run my finger through my hair and big chunks would fall out, that’s when I decided to shave it off so I didn’t have to suffer anymore.”…
