I'm a two-time cancer survivor. The first time I was diagnosed with cancer was in 2010. I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and ended up having my thyroid removed. The second time I was diagnosed was in 2014, four years later. I was told that I have chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).
I was touched by the work of Blood Cancer United when I received financial assistance; it really helped a lot. I have also shared my story with other organizations. Sharing my story has helped me cope with having cancer because it helped me deal with feeling alone and sad. I hope that my story can be of help to others.
