In June 2006, at age 25, I went to Forsyth Medical Center, ER,for severe pain and obvious weight gain in my stomach area. I had surgery on July 14, 2006, to remove what was now being called a tumor. I was sent to Duke Medical Center, on August 14, 2006 where I would go through 6 rounds of Chemo, going every 3 weeks. I am reminded of my cancer everyday, I might think about it less, and it might fade from thoughts some, but just like the scar on my stomach cancer really never goes away. You realize that life is precious, and you really can't afford to live anywhere but in the present.- Haley Mallert, Winston-Salem
