listen but good today I think I’m going

to do is explain his have talked about

fear and I am dying right now

of fear and the truth is that from the

school has always been the girl most

shy of the world every time they did

social authority poetry of that kind of

things and from then on he hid in the

bathroom makes the crazy until the teacher

he forgets that it was my turn but one

of the things you have discovered in these

years has been that the most things

wonderful is far beyond the

fear

so with all the balls to the

homes of the world I will give my chest and

try not to die trying

well my name if I look 24 years old

I am a mother of a six year old girl

if they do their calculations they will give

mind that I had it the 17 was a

little bit precocious that I was always precocious

for everything you can ask my mom

that I am in the audience

I walked at nine months I removed the

diaper in the eight months had a daughter

before having blue dni and also

I started to die before time

in September 2013 I did an exam

routine and when I saw the results the

numbers were more red than my notebook

high school and I got really scared so

I remember I went with my mom while

I was not washing the dishes and I told him

mom I think I have cancer because I know

it went through my head and my mom or esteo and

with that character that characterizes

managed well studied he could not sustain

that’s what I told my mom is fine then my

Dad came on a trip I told him I told him

also the same thing I said dad I think

I have cancer or I do not have an infection

the kick but I have it and he told me already

let’s go to a doctor to see what we

they say

we went to the internist and jet

of leg and in we were sitting there my

dad my mom yo

my daughter and I was there are rival the

guy flirting teaching memorama

until the between the paper and the smile

flirtatious of the missing boy

completely

instead of asking for my whatsapp he asked me for a

lots of more blood tests and my

dads grabbed and told me you know that

This is the query for a while because

let’s talk to the doctor

I hope that like half an hour outside and

when my dad left the consultation

they came out in automatic

I remember that he did not even turn to

look less to just walk or I

it did not exist and they left

I was running behind them

I remember we got to the garage and in

the garage as it stops them dry and

I told them what was and who is coming

needed to be told that I have

no and when and their faces already supposed it not

and remembered that among voices cut by

the pain and wanting to cry my dad

said that I had sing and well I think

yes

well what my dad told me and I

promised was that we were going to come out of that

he did not tell me do not worry because the

ibex and there did not start all my super

crossing with the cancer that has lasted

four years

as soon as they diagnosed me they started

all my analyzes and my crazy things

aspire to the marrow and I took a

biopsy speaking in Christian what I

they did was get me into abuse of this

size by the hip and take out a piece

of bone and liquid from here also well

nice are not a bit bizarre my

Mom almost faints when I do not see anything

Well, then came the worst that was the

chemotherapy

I have a leukemia that is very rare

normally when you imagine a

person with cancer

Can you imagine someone who in

chemotherapy the vein does not drop

hair and everything goes wrong

well my chemotherapy was not like that and that

I would take piano insisted on pills

pills that I had to take all the

holy days and in the ribs had

adverse effects so all the

vials I took and every day I

I was vomiting in the bathroom

the bathroom was very skinny all over and this time at

year

I really had red spots

my whole body swelled me from places

that he did not even know that they could

sometimes casting dawned with the mouth of

this precious size and days happened to me from

everything and has become a person to

the one that they did not give him and the flu to happen to be

a person who is sick of everything is

that is not only horrible especially has

20 years and there came a time when

I just got depressed and said no longer

I want more memory that I told my

dads know that I’m going to leave the

treatment

let me die in peace and I do not want to

this is over

I remember that I had my bed not me

I did not eat, I did not change, it was a

vegetable lying on a bed wrapped in

a polar pink and spent a week

in which my mom holds me like this and

after the week my mom had in the

balls that I did not have and he took me from the

hairs that I still had took me to the

shower with ice water and told me you’re going

enough size and look and I remember

that while I fell in the grandmother’s

shower

I had an awesome catharsis and I gave myself

account that for more than richter that

I did as much as I will struggle for more

that does not position the case that I

stop head

the cancer is not going to go and the only one

I was wasting time for it and

I want to make a special effort point

in this because while I was

depressed me first cry did not want

cry because he feels that now he is going to

be worse and it’s a lie and now it’s fine

reach the human being I think that when

you go through things like cancer or losing

someone or losing a job in the

opportunity or when something does not come out

well cry is human

we have to vote bad things for

that good things but in all

our lives

I believe that pain clears and leaves us

bring good things again so if

something happens

I cried I screamed and Mali Ghana insulted him

who want

hit someone not the penalty in goal

criminal or there is no legitimacy said the coup

in something but it’s fine is not right

getting frustrated is the most normal thing in the world

after that in highs and lows during

these four years I was sick

last year my body stopped

react to the treatments and my

doctor gave me two options he told me or

you stop the treatment and you die in two

years

ot transplanted the medullary and

you probably live a happy life and

quiet did not give me many options and

I said good, well behind each

time I’m going to do that there may be a

agreement and that was with my dad and

consult and we both sit down and I

He said everything that could happen to me

they transplanted told me you can die

you can be invalid you can stay

blind after they do with novices

do not walk horrible bellies well well

tétrico to explain things

however sign the consent and

I said yes

one of the things that I asked my

doctor when we talked about the transplant was

if I was going to lose my hair during all

the time it takes chemotherapy

my hair never fell because the

oral chemotherapy does not make it was already

that my hair and there my doctor

knowing it vain and perica that I am

with all the pain in the world he told me if

you’re going to drop all the coffee or all

sides and I said good at least I’m not leaving

to have that of pillar and another one by machine

try to take with humor has told us is

a low blow not because the society of

somehow it ‘s like wetting hair

Long pretty woman to talk or woman

sexy long hair and when I found out

that I was going to run out of hair was like

what the hell and now what am I going to do?

stop being pretty and again through

two options or I expected my hair

fell only because of chemotherapy or

I grabbed in rapallo room and as I am a

crazy related we bring to the hairdresser and

I shaved my head on my own and where everything

fit

and when I called and peeled it was in fact

shocking and I had hair up here

and see you peel front made

horrible not and I remember that I put myself

to look as if some or some kind

of referent of woman veiled sexy

empowered and I found lemon or the

Kidney or more

I did not find any none none

none and that did not seem fair to me

I remember that I started crying

like three days I do not face

saying my hair my hair peels and at

final I for the mirror I looked and I

I said look you are more good than bread

with chicken you do not need hair you can

come out three heads if you want but to

keep being pretty and there I realized

that we are all what we transmit

if we feel good with

ourselves

people will see us that way if

you believe that people will believe

because that is our magic

we are what we transmit to people

we are energy and so we can continue

go ahead and then came and horrible

transplant

the bone marrow transplant although the

Most believe that you part manuel neck

lies is really like a

blood transfusion

the problem is that the transfusion of

blood lasts approximately two months

that has to be locked in a

isolation cell in that room

isolation that although I learned rapa nui

and I met again one more time because

It was a very powerful experience I

They did 38 chemotherapies in seven days

it was brutal

my eyebrows and eyelashes fell

hair all the weight that the body had

it seems 1% acetic acid my organs

they started to collapse and the last day

that I had to put active that was the

sixth day I fainted twice the

first time I fainted myself and when

I tried to go alone to the bathroom but all the

force to return to my bed and fall

there and it opens our eyes and I did not leave

carry because I felt that the

eyes no longer wake up going back to the

the second time I fainted

It was that same day when my mom went to

see me the clinical form and re for that

then it could do nothing alone does not

he had not even the strength to

lift the spoon and feed me

Mommy has to give me everything so my

mom took me to the bathroom sat me in the

bathroom and the only thing I remember is that everything

it got January and hear my mom screaming

and there yes let me go and I did not want to fight

I was tired and out of nowhere I started

have flash is plagiarism of my half life

very young my teenager and my

my dads brothers am and 6 pm and

also a lot of things for that

is what they say when you die

all your life passes before your eyes me

Methia has really happened happens and the pp

nothing formidable is not the last thing

last I could see in that in this

moment in which I really felt that I

he was dying he was listening to the

my daughter’s cry through my head

that crying when I was little and I

I had to go to college and she

I got on my leg because I did not want to

that I go and it was his crying in which

somehow it woke me up and I

brought back to reality and once

who becomes aware again and was

wake up after having seen in my

life passes in front of my eyes I gave myself

mind that I had a life

fucking wonderful I had it all

I had always had everything while

sanz has been sick always had

had everything had my family had my

daughter had death had everything and all the

life I had spent complaining to me and it ‘s

stupid that we have to get to the

point of having to be dying not

to realize that she is not hungry

to see guatemala villosa and we have everything

what we need

so I also want to tell everyone

you who saw in your life fully and

They are extremely grateful to all that

have and do not obsess thinking about

the things that they think they need because

they already have everything

After this transplant them I can

tell me to teach me cancer

the truth is that I thought cancer

I had removed many things removed me

my hair and my body pazo took me away

my the fugitive who disappeared the

same day of 1,000 transplants can

play eternal best seriously can send

the motorcycle if they want

but the truth is that it has also

taught many things

cancer taught me that I am a person

pretty resilient I know I can

fall

I know I can get to pieces, I know that I

I can stumble and I can complain and put

leg and and all everything you could me

be debris like this but as he could

rebuild me and I know that of those

debris that I made several times

because the truth is that I will dedicate the

life a lot of times of those

angel debris and fitch have congratulated

my bases as a woman as a person as

human being reaches for me has

self – taught

because as I said, we are what

We transmit if you believe that you are the

page flame jet of water for more

sensual

people are going to really believe inah like

I tell everyone not to let their

problems

change its essence I can have cancer

also you have a problem with your

boss with his wife with her husband with your

children with your brothers but do not let

it’s included in your life and it ‘s lost

it’s a bad life it’s a bad day and believe me

when I tell them that bad things do not

they are here to stay

bad things come to teach you

something and once you learn and how you

I also say to the whole world

If I have cancer , cancer does not have me

I will never have

Thank you

and
