About justben

I had a fiance that passed away from spinal cord and brain cancer in 2008. Her passing was the lowest point of my life and through that I found my true calling. At the age of 27, my fiance suffered a rare cancer that started from an ache in the leg and wound up being paralyzed in just a matter of a couple of weeks. She fought for almost 4 months but her body couldn't take it any longer. I am attempting to get my medical degree here in the US and hope to help motivate other people or their family who have suffered or suffering from cancer.
