Acute Myeloid Leukemia
My life before cancer was difficult, but cancer has made it almost...I say almost impossible. Never in my life did I ever think I would ever get cancer. So many emotions came over me in this moment. Fear, Nauseousness, Anger, Depression, and fear again were flowing through my thoughts.
I had moved to Missouri to officially begin my life with Christina. Everything was starting to fall into place. About a month later, life took an unexpected turn. I found out I was going to be a father! This was the most excited that I had been about anything! A few weeks later we found out that we weren't just having one baby but twins! Double the blessing! So now, not only do I have a fiancée, we are going to have twins. I thought my life was finally getting to the perfect place.
I started having health concerns, but said nothing to no one. I was having trouble breathing, constantly being cold, having chest pains, extremely tired and extremely pale. My son Chance and my daughter Scarlett were born. My heart was now full of life and love for my new family. The twins were born at 32 weeks, so they were very premature. I finally went to Urgent Care. The doctor drew my blood to see if that had anything to do with my symptoms. Later that evening, I got a call from the doctor telling me that my blood counts were dangerously low and that I needed to go to the emergency room immediately. Then a few days later it became clear, I had Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML).
