A True Story

They told me I shouldn't be alive.
I had a 96% chance to die.

I didn't plan for this. I didn't see it coming. One moment I was building my future, and the next, I was fighting for a single breath.

The Word That Changes Everything

It wasn't supposed to be me.

I was young. I was healthy. I had plans. But sitting in that doctor’s office, the world went silent. The word Lymphoma didn't sound like a diagnosis; it sounded like a verdict.

I sat in my car for what felt like hours. The key was in my hand, but I couldn't move. How do you keep driving when you don't know if you have a destination left?

I searched Google for answers, for a reason, for anything to make sense of the chaos. But sometimes, life breaks you in ways that the internet can't fix.

The Valley

When the Body Quits

I went from living my life to just trying to survive it. The statistics didn't look good. The treatment didn't feel like healing—it felt like a war zone inside my own veins.

The Fall

I remember the day my legs just... stopped. One minute I was standing, the next I was on the floor. I couldn't get up. I couldn't reach my phone. I was completely alone.

The Chair

Three months. That’s how long I lived in a reclining chair. I lost my independence. I lost my strength. I watched the world move on without me from a corner of a room.

The Silence

The pain wasn't just physical. It was the questions screaming in the silence of the night. "Why me?" "Is this how it ends?"

The Shift

Just 15 Minutes.

When my body had nothing left to give, I found something I could still do. It wasn't a miracle cure. It wasn't a sudden burst of energy.

It was a choice. Every single morning and every night, I took 15 minutes to be still. To breathe. To hope when hope felt dangerous.

They said I wouldn't make it.

But I'm still here. I'm writing this. I'm breathing. I walked out of that valley, but I didn't do it alone.

When you are at 96% against you, when you are broken on the floor, when the world is dark... you realize that you don't need more strength.

You need someone who can hold you up.

The Real Reason I'm Alive

I tried to fight it on my own. I tried to be strong. But real strength came when I stopped relying on myself and started holding onto something bigger.

In the middle of the pain, in the silence of that chair, I found that I wasn't just surviving. I was being held. By a love that doesn't quit. By a peace that doesn't make sense.

I found Jesus. He was the one holding the rope the whole time.

If you feel like you're at 96%, know this:
The story isn't over. And you are not alone.
