                                   MY FIGHT
My name is Marelyn Rodriguez, I was born on December 25th, 1983 by Elsa and Jose Rodriguez. I am the oldest out of 5 children, I have two younger sisters and two younger brothers. In the year of 1984 at the age of seven months old I was diagnosed with neuroblastoma. My very first surgery was at the age of three years old to attempt the removal of my tumor, it was unsecussesful because the tumor was to big to remove and had roots attached to it. My parents were informed that this type of tumor wasn't going to allow me to survive past the age of six years old. I was asked to make a wish, my wish was to visit Disney World. I made it to six years old not only that but my wish came true, my family and I Were given a weekend vacation to DISNEY WORLD! Sponsored by the annual holiday wish list by the news. At the age of 12, I was diagnosed with scoliosis and had to get two surgeries, one was to remove the scoliosis and the other was to attempt to remove the tumor again. For two years I was in a wheel chair. I've had several back surgeries that I survived till the age of 27. When I was 14 years old I ran into the road Saving one of my little brothers life from getting hit by a car. I broke my right leg into two pieces. Due to this incident they discovered I had a tumor inside of my bone, my leg was repaired and the tumor was stoped from growing. My doctor informed me I would not be able to have kids from all the chemo and radiation I received, it had killed my eggs and the ablity to consive a child. That didn't convince me! At the age of 20, on the day of August 3rd, 2004 God had blessed me with my first child Damian, whom is now 10 years old. On August 12th,2005 I was blessed for the second time with another baby boy and his name is Damarcus whom is 9 years old. Three years later on March 29th,2009 I was continued to be blessed and given a baby girl named Jamilia , during my pregnancy with my daughter my doctor informed me that I had tumors in my head. After the birth of my daughter I found out that I was pregnant again but I was told I had to terminate it because I needed to have surgery done. And the abortion was paid in full by my doctor. In 2010 I had surgery due to a hook in my back, two years after I had another surgery to remove a tumor in my lower right back. In 2013 I had surgery in weston florida to reconstruct my stomach. This was a 9 1/2 hour surgery my heart stopped and was brought back to life, this surgery almost cost me my life. Ive been asked "what is your inspiration in life? What keeps you fighting for your life?" My inspiration in life are my three beautiful children, I want to be able to continue to see them grow and achieve something in life. My parents, they keep me going and help me fight this battle, they inspire me to keep on fighting for my kids.
