I'm A Private Person. I'm Shy About

As Much As I Would Have Liked To Have Kept My Cancer Private, I Now Realize That I Have A Certain Responsibility To Those Who Are Fighting Their Own Fights And May Be Able To Benefit From Learning About Mine.

I Deeply Believe In One's Own Positive Will To Overcome Even The Most Daunting Challenges.

Looking A Certain Way Is A Blessing And A Curse.

But I Must Never Forget How Blessed I Have Been. God Has Given Me Gifts And Happiness, Beyond Any Of My Simple Desires. My Deepest Desire Now Is To Simply Live... So With Hope And Determination, I'd Hold On And Go On.

As I've Gotten Older, I've Found That I Can Have Men As Friends. I Used To Not Be Able To.
