Some time ago, I was diagnosed with lung cancer, and to save my life, I had to undergo a lobectomy. They removed the entire lower lobe of my right lung. It was a terrifying and overwhelming experience—one that no one ever truly prepares for. The word “cancer” alone carries so much weight, and in that moment, life as I knew it was turned upside down. But I was one of the lucky ones. If you can call it that when facing such a disease. My cancer was caught early, and because of that, I was given a chance—a chance that so many others never get.
