Hello everyone!

I am eager and excited to share my story with you! This past year I received the worst news possible. I was diagnosed with cancer. I did all the usual things. I asked why. I cried. I pleaded with God. Then I finally sat back and said: “Yes, I have cancer but it does not have me.” And so I approached my battle with a positive mind. I was winning this battle no matter what.

I went through chemo, I went through radiation and I had surgery. I surprised and amazed everyone with my recovery. I chose not to think of what cancer was taking from me but what it has given me and I have gained so much more than it has taken.

I watched as magically my tumor shrunk away to nothing! For the first time ever, I had an amazing relationship with my brother. I was given time off of work and it allowed my body to heal both physically and mentally. A relationship that fell apart with a cousin, mended and it was like we were never apart. My finances just kept getting better and better.

I kept telling myself that I wanted to find someone who would accept me for me, and not shy away from all of this. And guess what? I found that amazing man! I just never expected him to be my surgeon. Out of this world, right? The more I met with and interacted with him the more I found myself attracted and intrigued by him. I found myself thinking that I would love to exchange numbers and get to know him better. At my last follow up we ended up exchanging numbers and have been together ever since. We have fallen in love and when I say I have never had a man treat me better, I mean it. He makes me laugh and pushes me to be a better version of myself.

While cancer may have taken some things from me, it has given me so much more than I ever could have imagined. I owe a huge thank you to God, The Secret, and the Universe for helping to remove obstacles and rearranging events in my life to make it so much better than it ever was.
