My mother was a lupus patient. I was a child with the lupus gene.

I've discovered that anxiety, panic attacks, and depression can be side effects of lupus, which can present their own challenges.

I'm taking special treatments for the cancer in my brain and in my liver. Part of the liver was removed, and they did the treatment on four places in my brain with radiation. And now I'm taking a long-term medicine that stimulates my own immune system to fight against cancer.

The medication I had to take was a form of chemotherapy. You feel like death every day. No appetite. No energy. But the treatment worked. It cured my liver 80 per cent but compromised my kidneys.

My illness is excruciating and difficult to cope with. It takes over your entire life and causes more suffering than I can describe.

I had a prostatectomy in the fall and fortunately it was encapsulated and I didn't have to go through chemotherapy.

I already had high blood pressure. I have hypertension. And I think the chemo was just too much for my kidneys. And they went into failure. And that was September 12th of 2008. And the doctor rushed me right to the hospital.

I've experienced wrong diagnoses and been given antibiotics for things that could be cured naturally. We may not think much of it, but it destroys our immunity.

I have no cancer. I have four illnesses, but they are not fatal.
