"You Have Cancer"

At age 22 you don't want to hear your doctor tell you, you have cancer. I thought I was invincible, however cancer changed everything from that moment I got the news.
I wasn't expecting going to get checked out and leaving with cancer. When I heard those words "you have cancer"....it was a numbing feeling and I just put my head down and looked up at my mom in confusion and smiled at her.

Another thing is that, it's the worst feeling having to tell your family and friends the news. I was just running everything in my head how am I gonna say this. I just told them everything that's going on with me and my condition and told them to be just positive and don't look at me differently because I don't want anything to change. Treat me like you have always treated me and keep it that way.

I'm glad I have the friends and family who are by my side. Without them this would be a lonely journey I will have to face. I'm glad I don't have to suffer through all this alone, I have my loved ones with me for the ride.

I know there is going to be up and downs on this jounrey for me but I'm ready for this battle and I'll fight till the end.
