About Me

My Journal

I am a Survivor

After losing both parents to cancer and serving in a military zone that used dioxin, my path seemed inevitable. I was recently diagnosed with Burkitt's NHL, was also diagnosed with M.G.U.S. a decade ago. After 3 mo. of intensive chemo., an attack of sepsis shock and a month of physical rehab, due to sepsis and paralysis, Finally cured. A battle, journey and a road I felt would never end has made me see how precious life now is. Enjoy.
