I cannot believe I deleted this whenI had 795likes I was so hoping GaGa would see this , please can you help her see this. Heres my story;On the 20th December 2012 I was diagnosed with osteosarcoma (bone cancer) in my right fibula- however diagnosis was good and was positive with the hope of a cure. After starting four month of chemo in order to help stop the cancer from spreading and see if they could kill It I was operated on with the view to just removing the bone and that's it. However due to the size of it growing in the four month they came to me the day of my op and told me they may have to remove my leg. As a 14 year old to be told this was horrific and going into theatre not knowing the outcome was one of the scariest things I have had to do. To my luck they were able to remove the bone without having to amputate my leg . I was filled with joy and yet a part of me knew this wasn't over. After having an. X-ray two days after my op a shadow appeared where the tumour was removed. The doctors reassured us it was scar tissue from the drain I had in . Unfortunately , my oncologist wasn't happy about it and asked for a ct scan to decide if it was tumour left or scar tissue. Two weeks later it was confirmed cancerous but needed another biopsy to clarify 100% . After those results coming back the same the only route now was amputation. After having being told my leg was saved from cancer and then being told it had to be taken from me was heartbreaking and the worst thing you could ever be told.after eventually getting the strength to have the operation ,after having recorded myself dancing to judas many times in the middle of the night before my operation, the time had come . In the morning they took u down and I had my leg removed with a full 10cm clearance . After undergoing maintenance chemo for a couple of month they noticed a shadow on my lung X-ray which sadly is the second place my cancer went to. After saying it wasn't anything to worry about , in January this year they ct scanned me again to find it was cancerous and needed removing and so with in the week I was in having a slice of my lung removed. After recovery of this I was then told that I was in remission and that I was cancer free. I was so proud to finally finish my year of hell and get back to normal again. On my six monthly check up I was rescanned to then find sadly that there were five metassas in both lungs, unfortunately due to delays in scans and appointments, one tumour has spread significantly around my heart and throughout 2/3 of my lung. Due to the symptoms of this, doctors are no longer prepared to operate on me- which was my only hope for a cure.
During my time in remission I ordered tickets to see lady gaga in Birmingham but doctors said I was too ill to go.
A charity tried to arrange for me to meet you, gaga at your concert, but a) I was unable to go, but b) I understand that you're busy and its a lot to ask. So all I am asking is this- is there anyway I can get some merchandise signed from you? Your born this way ball I went to in twickenham just before I was diagnosed was the best night of my life, and looking back now- I'm so glad I went.
And the one thing that helped me when I first started loosing my hair from chemo was my sister singing to me your song 'Hair' cause I am as free as my hair- which has gone so you can't get much more free then that!
One of my best friends went to see the artrave and brought me this shirt and I can't stop wearing it!:) #gaga #pleasehelpgagaseethis #artrave #artpopball #artpop #fan #MessagetoGaga #bornthisway #ladygaga #MotherMonster #littlemonsters #PawsUp @gaga
