The Reality that I have Leukemia

 Some days, I get an overwhelming feeling that I have Leukemia. You hear stories of people who have cancer, and you feel bad for them, and you think that has to be scary; after all, you could die. But when I think about it, I am one of those people, and it is scary, but for me, I am grateful that I have a testimony of the Great Plan of Happiness, which makes it a little less scary. The treatments that can save your life exist, but there are no guarantees. In my situation, there were two major attempts to rid my body of the cancer, but neither worked, so we resorted to the last chance stem cell transplant. We hope that this will not only be treatment but a cure. So we are very hopeful, but it is a major undertaking, and my journey has been pretty rough, but I have reached an excellent point in my recovery. All my numbers look good, and I am on track for a cure. 

Even though I have cancer, I have a testimony of the Great Plan of Happiness. It is through the Savior Jesus Christ that families can be together forever. No matter what happens, I am sealed to my family through the ordinances of the temple. I can't wait until I can again go to the temple and be reminded of the covenants I have made with the Lord.
