All my life, I loved to eat a lot of food, I love to dance at clubs, and I loved life with friends and family.
Then it started, an ambulance would come to my house and take me to the ER because I was in pain. I went many times during one summer month.
One time in the hospital, I woke up and a doctor was sitting next to my bed waiting for me to wake up. I thought that I must really be in trouble for him to be there.
He smiled and said he was an oncologist, a cancer doctor, and he explained that he believed I had cancer, but more tests needed to be completed.
Unfortunately, my insurance denied those tests because they were too expensive. He wasn’t sure what to do.
More trips to the ER, more tests, and more pain. I had never experienced this kind of deep pains. Finally they approved and uncovered that I had lymphoma cancer, stage 4.
