Vivian’s Story of Cancer Survival

Monday, July 7th, 2008

wuas2008-postcards.jpg

Vivian’s Story:

“At the age of 26, I thought there was still a whole world ahead of me. Little did I expect I would be hit with such unexpected news where my world would change drastically and I would be forced to face a difficult challenge.  This is how the story begins…
“During December 2005, as I was finishing my last year in UBC Civil Engineering, I came down with a nasty sore throat that did not go away. For months onward, it got worse, and on top of the sore throat, I had a sore on the left side of my tongue which made it difficult for me to eat or talk. I was constantly in a bad mood.  In the span of 4 months, I visited my doctor once a month, and didn’t think much of it. Finally, in April, I asked to see a specialist, but the day before my appointment, the specialist had an emergency surgery, and we had to postpone my appointment. Because it was during my final exam times, I postponed it for 1 whole month. By this time, I had dropped 20 lb because I couldn’t eat. It hurt too much.
“After my school chaos, I finally saw the specialist, and he ordered a blood test and biopsy for the sore. When the results came back, the specialist said he could not help me, and referred me to a head and neck specialist, Dr. D.W. Anderson.  At Dr. Anderson’s office, waiting for the diagnosis, I truly thought it was just a bad sore that needed to be removed.   When Dr. Anderson came back into the examination room, he sat down in front of me, looking straight into my eyes, with his hand on my lap and said, ‘I’m sorry but you got cancer on your tongue.’  At that moment I really didn’t know what to think, what to feel or what to say.  All I know is that tears started coming down my face.  I took a deep breath and I asked, ‘Are you sure about that?’  Dr. Anderson replied, ‘Yes.’  So I asked, ‘What is there to do then?’  Dr. Anderson briefly explained to me that he would need to cut the sore off including a portion of my tongue.  I was nervous and I didn’t know what to expect.  All I could ask was, ‘Am I going to be normal again?’, and I’m not sure why, but my next question was, ‘Will I be able to eat steak again?’  All in all I was just overwhelmed with the information.  The rest of the time I just remembered Lynn, the receptionist, was very caring. She gave me a pat on the shoulder and said, ‘Don’t worry, Dr. Anderson will do the best he can to help you.’

“The surgery took place in 13 days because of how severe the situation was, and how rapidly the cancer was spreading.  I stayed in the hospital for just over a week. During that time, many doctors, nutritionists, dieticians, physiotherapists and counsellors had all visited along with many friends and family. After leaving the hospital, I rested at home for another month, and started my radiation and chemotherapy treatment. My recovery took just over six months – a fast time because of my youth.  Looking back, I remember vividly that during the treatment period, every single member of the BC Cancer Agency treated me with tremendous love. They took the time to explain everything to me in great detail, time and time again.  And that is why today, I want to raise money through the BC Cancer Foundation to give back and continue the great care and support that was given to me by the BC Cancer Agency.
My story is just one chapter of many.”

Buffet Blow Out 2008

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

Mark from www.crueltyfreecartoons.com and me at the back of Can Am Importique near the bar

Buffet Blowout happens every year, organized by International Special Events Society as an annual showcase and competition for Catering and Decor companies.

I went to BB 2006, which was held at A & B Party Rentals and theme was Food Around the World, so it was Europe, Latin America, Asia and Africa. I was blown away by the level of detail and caliber of work, so I joined ISES Vancouver and their board…

Buffet Blowout 2007 was at the Vancouver Art Gallery: 4 elements: Fire, Earth, Wind, Water…. incredible.

This year is no different, check out the photos at www.isesvancouver.com/photos_buffet2008b.html

My job this year is the bring and manage the volunteers, and take care of the bar. My students and friends who volunteers are top notch! If you see pictures of girls in white shirt and black bottom, that’s them!
