Jake Bailey | His cancer
Today we had a special surprise visitor at our school for year 6 and up. His name is Jake Bailey. He basically told us his journey through cancer and a few lessons about his life. He told us that he was just a normal 18 year old just on his last end of year exams for school when he just wasn't feeling well. He still went to school and as soon as he got home he jumped into his bed. He told us that the next day he didn't feel like he couldn't stand up. Then he said he started vomiting blood. That sounded creepy to some people. He said he that he had many tests such as a MRI can he described that as a donut. Then he talked about the blood tests and some other creepy but cool tests he has had. Then he talked about how a lady that he had never met before walked in and quietly and calmly said that he was diagnosed with cancer. He said he didn't feel sad or anything like that he felt kind of relived that they found what was wrong with him. Then he taught us a few lessons. He said that he learnt not to stress small things like failing homework or something. He said for us to not worry if something happens and he said be grateful for everything you get. He ended it with a lot of questions for us to ask him
