With only a one in five chance of surviving beyond five years, I’m so blessed to still be here thriving, 15 years after my initial diagnosis.

It was after I started chemotherapy, that I was at home one day healing from the treatment and I realized I was thankful.
Even on days when I didn’t feel like fighting, I have to because I had my son to live for.
My dream for over ten years, had finally become a reality and for the second time, cancer was taking it away from me.
I’m treating cancer like a kidnapper or robber trying to steal me away from my children.
