Hodgkin’s lymphoma
A week after giving birth to my second child, I was told that I had blood cancer.
I heard the most terrifying words—my greatest fear—oncology. But in that moment, I simply accepted it. I didn’t ask, «Why me?» I understood why this was happening to me. It was a lesson I had to go through, to learn from, and then move forward. Unfortunately, I hadn’t noticed the signs that life had been giving me. I kept moving forward... but where? For what? Everyone was running, and so was I—self-improvement, achievements, success... But when was I actually living? I never had time to just live! And life stopped me in the harshest way possible... only then did I finally see the signs.
Now I live in the moment, day by day, without grand plans. And I am happy! Life has given me a chance to correct my mistakes. I have reached remission, and my journey was not an easy one...
