Life is tough but so am I

Published on February 22, 2018 in Share Your Story

I was diagnosed at 24 with a grade 2 glioma a year and a half after beating stage 2 colon cancer. I was given a false death sentence at the beginning but I refused to believe them and here I am a year later sharing my story and spreading awareness! I’m still doing treatments for my tumor, but things are lookin good! I’ve learned to persue all the things I love about life and follow a career path I know I’ll love! Life is tough, but so am I!
