Aaron’s Weekly Diary We finally got the date!!!!!!
by AARON MCMAHON On Monday, I wasn’t
feeling well at all, nothing was going well for me and I was getting sick a lot. I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t walk in a straight line and I was so dizzy, needless to say this wasn’t the best start to the week. Tuesday I was feeling
slightly better, so I went to cinema with Liz to watch Deadpool, this is something I love to do regularly, as it takes my mind elsewhere for a little while, But Deadpool was fantastic!, I definitely recommend everyone to see it, I couldn’t say anything bad about that movie. Afterwards we decided to
grab a bite to eat and head home to rest. Wednesday was another
exceptionally busy day! I was in hospital all day

nicest of places to be when all you want to do is be in your own home comforts. Thursday I wasn’t
feel-
ing well again so, so much so that I had to stay inside all day near the bathroom because I’d get sick if I seen any food or drink. I was so weak I couldn’t
handle standing as I’d fall over. Friday I was feeling ok so
my brother and I went out to do airsoft in Munster air- soft with a friend Denis we had a great laugh, it was nice to take my mind off be- ing sick until I was feeling sick again so I had to stop and rest. It was so bad, I felt real-
ly sick but couldn’t actually get sick so we had to ruin a great night because of me been sick , I felt I had ru- ined the night for my Broth- er and Denis as we had to leave early and rush home for tablets, and they didn’t even work. Saturday Liz and I chilled
watching a movie but we couldn’t chill much as I was
back and forward to the bathroom getting sick, I got sick multiple times but Liz kept me company while I was really sick I am really grateful for her been there with me supporting me through it all, I’m so lucky to have such an amazing support system through my family and friends. Sunday night we got good
news we had been waiting for from America we final- ly got the date, Surgery is scheduled for June 9th
!! I was so relived to get the
date but as you know, when you’re looking forward to something so much, the days pass by like months, but that will not take away from my overwhelming happiness, I’m so happy America are giving me a chance to beat this cancer, I can’t wait to get this oper- ation and come home and say I beat it. Thanks again to every
person and business for your continued support. Chat soon, Aaron Mc
Mahon.
