When I was five years old, I was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome, a disease that systematically disrupts
and shuts down your kidneys and bladder and leads to high cholesterol, swelling, and low blood protein
levels. I woke up one morning and my face was swollen. I was taken to the hospital, admitted immediately, and
diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome. I had to have emergency surgery, and the only surgeon who specialized in
nephrotic syndrome happened to be in Austin, Texas at the time of my illness.For the next year I took strong
medication to help fight the disease and had to have my blood drawn every week, much to my dismay, for the
duration of my treatment. The medication I took included steroids and chemo-therapy. My body became dependent
on the steroids, so I had to take chemo to help gain my body’s natural function back. I’m sure my brother
didn’t complain either, as I would use my new steroid based strength against him quite often.
After surgery, the doctors urged me to adopt a healthier lifestyle which included a healthier diet and more
physical activity.
To this day I still play sports, still eat healthy foods, limit my junk food intake, and work out almost
every day.
The adjustment to chemo, steroids, blood work, and an entirely new lifestyle was hard, but it definitely paid
off in the end as I have been blessed to be healthy and strong ever since.
