"You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience you actually stop to look fear in the face."
-Eleanor Roosevelt
My cousin, D.j., was diagnosed with Lymphoma cancer when he was just a freshman in high school.. He had to give up a lot of things during the 2 and a half years he battled cancer, such as Football and Basketball. Cancer ruined anything he had going for him, he ended up graduating a year late because he had missed so much school, and was never allowed to play contact sports again. Throughout the years he had cancer he never lost faith in having a better tomorrow, and he always had courage. He always made time for the ones that mattered to him, even though he was in the hospital a lot and had to go to treatment almost everyday. And finally after 2 and a half years of battling, he defeated it.
But that's not where his heroine character ends,
In the Spring of 2011, he was yet again diagnosed with Lymphoma cancer when he went to his 4-year examination. And even then, after remembering how hard life was the first time he battled, he hasn't lost faith or given up. He's been to many places, trying to find a cure. He's been in hospitals for months at a time, and treatments everyday, and he just recently had a big surgery to try and remove the tumor that caused the cancer. And even after the surgery, when we all had our doubts, he picked us all up and let us know that he wouldn't give up.
He's been my hero since the beginning of his diagnosis., and he still is.
