Living with NHL of the Central Nervous System

My name is Andrew. I am diagnosed with NHL of the Central Nervous System. I have been in treatment for 5 years now. My advice is to live one day at a time. My 6-year-old daughter is my beacon of hope. There have been days I feel like giving up. I can't. I have to push forward in this battle.

I was diagnosed when I was seven and went into remission at 14. I have served my country and am currently a Flight Nurse with a Master's in Nursing. The will is how we live. We choose to fight or give in to our disease. This cancer does not own me, I just treat it. I own it.
