This is my story of surviving cancer

I was diagnosed with Non Hodgins Lymphoma back in 2006 my dad had died of the same marginal within 17th months which is unfortunately the normal.

By 2007 I was told I had six months and treatment gave me 6 months more.  The in 2008 I was told I had three months to live.

Over the years I have tried various different types of chemical therapies from the golden bullet Rituximab to more well-known ones .

Three years ago my spleen had grown so filled with cancer I was told to have stem cell treatment or my life would be over

Sassy films filmed my journey through Stem Cell treatment for over a year . I hope this video gives and strength and comfort to those going through cancer.

I am still alive, surviving cancer and going strong

UCLH allowed my stem cell cancer journey to be filmed (by Sassy films) from diagnose through all scans -tests and the stem cell harvest itself, for the first time. It took over a year to make and we hope this short video will give hope -understanding to those going through and family friends that can only sit back and watch,unable to do anything but give support.
