The first year of being amputee is not easy to me to handle and accept, i am always at my room,   i like to be alone and having inferiority which turned to be insecured, too.  I done so many surgeons and medical test before i got in too good shape and healthy. As being cancer survivor i am very proud to let you know all my friends what i've gone through for past 22 years.. More struggles, determinations, strong , confidence and of course patience, i earned  just to overcome and making a new life in the field of success !
