  1. i want too share my story on how i survived a deadly illness called blood cancer.i suffered from
    it for one year and two months. During this period of my life,i was isolated from my family and friends,because they where all tired of me.I could not do what i normally did such as my day to day activities,i lost my job because i could no longer perform my duties like i use to.My doctor gave me less than 4months to live,and trust me at this point of my life i felt i lost it all,till a faithful day which was on a sunday morning on my way to church i came across a testimony online,with someone who had a similar case as mine.I got motivated by the story and i decided to contact the doctor and he sent me a medicine
