I’m so happy for my team. We really need to be grateful for the grace of God. The day of my diagnosis I asked my doctor if the treatment was necessary and she looked at me and answered me badly. But I was not negative about the treatment it’s just that I didn’t have information that it is effective. Despite what I am going through. I’m grateful 🥲
