Link was sick for weeks and weeks and I took him to the doctors and he got diagnosed with cancer and I couldn't believe that my best friend has cancer.

(6 Months later)
I was diagnosed with a more curable type of cancer that I got hereditary two months ago.
I still helped link while getting chemo myself and I don't want people to go easy on me like cancer was a disability and tell me I can't do something because I have cancer.
I look like the same person I was months ago because I got a wig that looks natural and I made it look like I shaved my beard for something different and I learned how to do my eyebrows the same.
I wanted the attention to be on link 110% because he deserves the attention.

I'm getting chemo today and link is too and we take a selfie together and we post it with the caption "team Rhett and link ready to fight cancer"
We got support back from the mythical beasts and then we were connected to the chemo and In the beds the closest to each other as possible.
(Stevie visits)
Hey guys
Hey Stevie
Rhett you don't look like a cancer patient
He is one
I want the attention to be on link Stevie
That's too nice Rhett
I got a wig that is attached to my head so the mythical beasts don't put some of their attention on me because I don't want to have people sorry for me
(Stevie is there for 45 minutes and goes back home)

(Treatment ends and they both go home)

I wake up and feel a tiny bit better not nauseous but the stomach ache was still there and we got ready and went to my mom's house and it was about a 35 minute drive so I ended up falling asleep because the chemo made me tired.
