When I received the diagnosis, I felt the world tilt. Cancer, only one word, caused a thousand fears, but love poured in like morning sun through stormy windows.
Chemo stole my strength and hair, but my team reminded me I was still me. Nights when hope flickered, a friend’s voice could light it again, and Dr. Melissa Torrey and her team of angels convinced me I could make it.
Neighbors brought over meals. Old friends returned, sharing laughter and flowers. Even strangers lit candles and whispered prayers into the sky. Some hands I held were physical, others spiritual—but all held onto me, whispering strong and silent prayers that wrapped around me like armor. Through pain and fear, I always felt loved. It didn’t cure me, but it healed the parts medicine couldn’t reach.
Now, I see more than scars in the mirror. I see a survivor—a story created not just by doctors and drugs but by love, prayers, and unwavering support.
