    I am an 18 year cancer survivor working on my bachelors in Social Work. My dream is to become an Oncology Social Worker and help my fellow cancer patients to deal with the trials that come with diagnosis.

    Drug or Chemo Therapy (Chemotherapy): I took cisplatin for 6 months. It was very hard on my body and I was pretty sick for the entire time. It took me almost a year to begin to feel better.

    Oh No (Diagnosed): I was one month away from my 30th birthday and the mother of three young children. This was definitely not what I expected
