I was 19 years old when I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. That was 3 weeks ago. At first I didn't believe it. Cancer was just a thing, a zodiac symbol, a disease I had never been in contact with. Cancer was something for the strangers you see online, looking for a cure, fighting. I am not a fighter and cancer wasn't supposed to happen to me. But it did, and it is. Cancer is a part of me.
Now I'm beginning a different life. This is a life I never thought I would have. According to the doctors, today is the day I start my new life, I'm starting round one. 

Follow 19 year old Tavia as she fights cancer and love from taking over.

I finally felt at peace, calm and free but the sound of a speeding car behind me jolted me back to reality. Then the events of my stressfuful day rushed on me like a whirl wind and I wanted it all to be over...
