Some of you are aware, others maybe not. A year ago today, I was diagnosed with APL (Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia), a blood cancer. Highly Aggressive but also one of the most treatable leukemias. When I received the diagnosis I was utter disbelief and was given no time process the news. Next thing I know I was shipped far from home, sent to university Hospital. Little did I know I would spend a long month of inpatient treatment with many trials and tribulations. But I came through and treatment went very well. Being diagnosed with cancer is odd, I believe it is a unique experience for everyone who has to go through this. Fast forward, 365 days. I am here today, in full remission, in essence cancer free. Cancer has altered my brain chemistry. I appreciate nature more. Time is so fragile and yet so important, spend it on things you love. My happens to be spending time with family and friends, one of them at least. Learn to forgive others, as one day you might ask for forgiveness. Love your family and friends, they care so much. Ugh, there so many things but most importantly be kind to others. Please. At this time in my life I still don’t think I can put reason to why I am still here, when dear others and friends are longer with us today because of cancer. I refuse to believe that they didn’t deserve the same luck as me. I don’t blame an omnipotent being but I also don’t attribute my luck to that. Here is a little montage of some of the people that have made this journey worth while and made it possible for me to finish treatment to better health. I would like to thank my mom, gracias for staying with me in the hospital, my dad for working and driving back and forth to Denver for me. My sisters for their time and love. My good old vecinos, Los quiero ya saben. Dr. Drake and Dr. Peery for always checking up on me. For everyone that came to the hospital to see me. Better days, are always among us.  Con amor, Luis <3
