Battle Cancer for Keysha!

Hello Facebook Family!

I want to share with you all some news of hope and determination. Backstory:  Some of you know or have seen that I’ve been going through some medical issues. The extent of which I had no idea, but I did end up in the hospital in May. I was “treated” and came home , but didn’t have any answers at that time. Long story short, I ended up back in the hospital last Friday. 

I did some research on gastrointestinal disorders and found Johns Hopkins to be an exceptional facility for those types of issues. Well, very quickly I was dealt some potentially devastating and totally unexpected news. The doctors could see a cancerous mass blocking my lower colon. I sat dumbfounded. It didn’t really sink in all the way, but the doctor continued to explain my situation. There were also some spots on my liver that looked suspicious. We would wait on some preliminary results. 

This was a lot. But let me tell you, even with this terrible news I have maintained the most positive attitude. I’m calling it the anger,
and doctors have removed all the anger they could find inside me. Now I can physically heal my body while building up my mental and spiritual health as well. 

The past week has been a series of revelations and shocks. New and sometimes worse news unfolds. But at the same time, all of the doctors I speak to (and there are a lot) are totally impressed by my overall health otherwise. My blood work comes back great and I feel pretty good considering. 

Sorry for the short novel. I just wanted to preface by letting everyone know I am completely optimistic, and for those who are concerned I want you to be optimistic too! Send out the most positive thoughts
and prayers of healing you have! I feel this can be a blessing if through my own suffering, my loved ones can prevent future pain for themselves. 

Alas, there is the down side to all of this. Bills. I will be recovering from my surgery for 6-8 weeks and then there will be chemotherapy. It will be 2 weeks until test results are back, and then I will discuss with doctors the best game plan to totally eradicate the anger from my body.  It’s a huge blow to my mental well-being. At least 6 months out of work and the last thing I want to happen is to watch my family be burdened financially. I know we all work hard, and I humbly ask for your help! No amount is “too small” and any donation will be accepted with pure gratitude. 

Thank you for taking some time to read my story. If you love me, care about me, or just think I look like a pretty cool kid , please send out your positivity and hope!  I can spiritually feel that goodwill and it will guide me through this victory.
