wow… this is amazing to me! eight years ago today! exactly eight years ago today i was definitively handed my so called death sentence!” my pc doctor looks at me… and with a sad voice says that line that everyone dreads hearing… “you are diagnosed with cancer!” and not just any cancer… oh, no no no… you are diagnosed with stage FOUR cancer! bruh… let me tell ya something… if THIS ain’t a life changer, nothing is! amazing as it is, there is no doubt in my mind that i wouldn’t survive! i don’t know how or why, but i do! so my journey through this valley continues! i say continues because even though i have had no treatment for the stage four lung cancer since september of 2019, they (the doctors!) said that since cancer is incurable, i still am diagnosed with it! anyway, not only that but in april of 2020, i was diagnosed with my second cancer… mantle cell lymphoma! damn… just when you thought you’re out, it pulls you right back in! hahaha lol! now this journey has not been an easy one by no means! and i never expected to have valleys within valleys!wow! but… one factor that has been constant throughout my travels is that my faith and belief in the Almighty has never wavered! my story is far from over! don’t ask me how i know it, i just do! and i also know that my story will help others! show other people who are diagnosed with cancer that you can make a decision! as morgan freeman said in the shawshank redemption…”get busy living or get busy dying!” i’ve chosen the former!
peace and blessings!
