I went through a year of strenuous chemo, then I had a bone marrow transplant where they gave me salvage chemo, and 5 days twice a day, full body radiation to basically bring my immune system down to nothing. I literally died to stay alive umm"¦ come April I'll be in my 3rd year remission and it was a team effort. All the friends and family I had came together

And uhh"¦ I had to keep that mental strong, but umm.. We got through it uhh"¦ some fallen soldiers went as I fought uhh"¦ but they'll always be heroes. Peace!
