    One complication I faced was from the Spinal Taps. The Spinal Taps gave me a lasting dull headache and made me lightheaded whenever I stood up. I was forced to lay down for a half hour after the procedure in attempt to stop the headaches and lightheadedness. Surprisingly, laying down worked and my head issues faded.

I was forced to give myself insulin shots for a month, but then the pancreatitis (diabetes) disappeared since I never received the PEG again. Although I did not know about it at the time, pancreatitis is one of the life takes of cancer patients. Pneumonia is yet another complication I faced during my treatments. I was very short of breath and was hospitalized for fourteen days. My lungs didn’t showed scarring from the pneumonia even though they should…
