There are very few resources out here for most cancer patients. I was denied so many times , doors shut in my face after being asked what type of cancer I have. Only to be told there was no funding for "the cancer I chose". OUCH! That hurt so bad! But I did not lose my "BOLD FAITH" & "MY SMILE"! I'm still on this journey, it is hard but people are dying everyday.
I was blessed for a purpose to have my twin sister be a perfect match for me. I just celebrated my 2nd year "re-birth" on Monday August 22,2016!
But so many others are dying everyday and they only need YOU. I will be having donors drives throughout the community to spread more awareness.
I am currently experiencing some chronic post transplant health problems (Graft vs Host Disease)in my mouth and GI system for past four months in which a recent surgery I had on August 28,2016 didn't resolve as my medical team had hoped.

problems (Graft vs Host Disease)in my mouth and GI system for past four months in which a recent surgery I had on August 28,2016 didn't resolve as my medical team had hoped. My medical team is still trying different medicines almost daily. I had an infusion recently and it gave me a little boost but I need more and with GOD all things are possible. I am currently taking over 30 pills daily and visiting the hospital at least three times a week and now has a home attendant to help care for me because of all the damage my body has endured during all of this. Cancer is real! My bone density has been affected in my whole body, I fall often and can't pick up my own body weight, mouth sores only allow me to be able to drink boost which is very expensive and I'm having to use a can. But I never lose my smile. I am blessed!
Everyday I wake up I'm so grateful and is prepared for what each day will throw at me. This "S" on my chest will not fade! So I am mentally preparing myself for second surgery in less than a month to get the correct port surgically so we can proceed with this new regimen to fight this graft vs host disease. But as of today October 27,2016 I'm still keeping my "BOLD FAITH" and continuing to trust GOD and WALKING with a PURPOSE! I am temporarily on dialysis and Photoferesis for next six months, but this too shall pass!
My non profit is now established and I'm fighting for all cancer. I gathered other cancer survivors, warriors, and caretakers and myself and a friend designed a T-shirt for ALL cancer awareness so that we may be able to afford the things other cancer victims need to survive.
