Headshot of Amanda, a cancer survivor

I have been through quite a bit dealing with multiple health problems before and going through traumatic changes not understanding why life ended up this way but sometimes God gives his hardest moments to a strongest people.

Being diagnosed with leukemia was one of the most hardest moments ever. It has been the most horrible thing ever dealing with uncertain symptoms almost dying multiple times continuously holding on for life hoping that I don’t die.

I am wondering if I’m gonna wake up each day because you honestly don’t know what is next to come you have to continuously pray and hope and just look forward to each day and strive to do the best that you can.
