Journal entry by Ayanna Ventura

Hi guys, My name is A’yanna and I have Cicrearranged Sarcoma.  The type of cancer I have is rare. There is only about 20 cases in America. It was a lot to process. So let’s go back to when I didn’t know I had cancer.  I was the average girl.  I was working at a fast food restaurant, both day and night shift. I was planning to join the military, to be exact the Army.  I know a girl like me joining the army, I was skinny, didn’t really have muscle and didn’t look as tough as the other candidates. Next thing I know, I had a different pathway.  In the blink of an eye I was in the hospital. I was getting surgery on the right side of my back.  I had fluid in my BOTH lungs.  It was so much fluid the doctors put tubes in both sides of my ribs.  The fluid took months to drain.  Suddenly, there was a mass on my spinal cord.  I can’t walk but I’m getting stronger each day.  The reason why I put the acronym V.E.N is because it means vital experiences NEEDED. This experience taught me to appreciate the small things in life.  These were vital experiences needed.  I could go on about what I learned from this. Hopefully, you guys can learn from.  



Thank you! Please feel free to ask questions Or tell me what I need to improve my blogging.
