I cannot think of any 24 year old or anyone for that matter, that wants to hear the words, "You have cancer." As much as I wish that I never heard those words, to be honest, I am somewhat thankful I did. The experience allowed me to learn so much, not only about the disease itself, but about life and the life I wanted to start living. After my diagnosis, I was quick to learn that life really is short and never should be taken for granted. I share this journey with you to share the good, the bad, and the ugly of my experience. I hope to inspire you whether you're experiencing cancer or you know someone that is. After truly realizing how short life can be, I knew that it was time to do things that I always dreamed of doing, but never followed through with before. One of my biggest dreams was to move to a new city for new experiences. And in early 2012, I did just that. I currently reside in beautiful Southern California. Not only did I get to move to a place I love, I am so blessed to say that I have found love. My fiancé is loving, caring, and beyond patient. We enjoy living each day to the fullest and doing our best to not take one day for granted.view less
