As a kid all I wanted was to have a superpower. I wanted to be invisible and hide from anything or anyone. I wished I could fly just to be able to touch the clouds. Growing up I felt invisible so I guess I did have a superpower. Being the person I am today and what I went through with having cancer, I'd want my superpower to be The Cure. Having to experience cancer at 16, it wasn't the best feeling at all. I've at at least 6 total in procedure ans surgeries, 4 scar that remind me everyday what I went through, and 1 metal rod in my leg. Having to have surgery wasn't even the scariest part. The scariest was receiving chemo and the feelings that came along. Chemo made me sick to my stomach.That'll probably be the most times I've ever thrown up in my life. I've had days where I would do nothing but sleep all day and night because the chemo made me so tired and weak. There were days I could barely eat. For most the sight of food would make them sick but for me it was the smell. Its like all my other senses died out but my smell. I had a nose so sensitive, everything in sight made me want to throw up. Nurses had to sanitize there hands like every minute and hand sanitizer units hung on every wall you could find. Til this day the smell of hand sanitizer makes me nauseous.
Witnessing first hand and experiencing cancer, I'd never wish that onto somebody. It's definitely no walk in the park. I'd The Cure or being to cure somebody as a superpower because I don't want anybody to suffer. Even if I could take somebody's pain away for a day I would. I could give them a day without suffering and offer peace. I want to help in a way doctors or nurses and even medication can't. I think granting someone a painless happiness is the strongest superpower I could ever have. I'd want somebody to do it for me.
