Please read his story below.

‘I’m 18 and I was officially diagnosed with cancer in November 2022.  I was diagnosed with Hodgkins’s Lymphoma even though common in my case my doctors told me it was a miracle that I was even alive and that I hadn’t died yet. Before the official diagnoses with cancer.

I had become sick with covid in 2021 and I was studying biology in college at the time. When I saw a giant lump developing on the side of my neck, I had realised that I had cancer.  I knew I had cancer because, I was studying a similar case of a 17-year-old who had the same symptoms as me. So, I booked an appointment, and was checked by the doctor and told him my symptoms and then told the doctor that I have cancer and, he denied my claims and said I was probably having a serious infection, he gave me different types of medicines.

I had another check up again and I persisted that it was cancer for another 10 months. When I done the autopsy, a few days later the results came back, and it showed that I did have cancer, I knew if that if they took what I said to them into consideration I wouldn’t have done 6 months of harsh chemotherapy. When I went to Macmillan cancer, the doctors kept saying that it was a miracle that I was alive.

The new year came along, and I started a new year in college, on December 20th I started treatment, and I was told that I should take a year of school by the doctors, nurses and by my teachers but I said no because I’m not stopping my time for cancer and that I need to move forward like time dose because time doesn’t stops for no one. And at the end of the year I passed college with high grades and now I’m going to university.

I have always loved watches because they are a piece of engineering.  For me watches are a symbol of time itself, representing the passage of time and the finite nature of human life. It serves as a reminder to make the most of my time and to live life to the fullest.  It also symbolises no matter what situation I’m in, time always moves forward and I to have to always move forward.
