Hello Everyone,

The above picture is a very recent photo of myself and if I did not

mention to you that physically and psychologically I am battling

Hodgkin's Lymphoma (late stage) you would not have the slightest

idea . Hodgkin's Lymphoma has transformed my life and has shifted my

purpose towards maintaining overall wellness for others and building

awareness about diseases that can affect both you and your loved ones.

From my initial diagnosis until now, one of the most frequent

comments stated is 'You look great... how could this be that you are

so sick?'. Lymphoma is amongst a multitude of diseases known as

'Silent Killers' due to the fact that the signs and symptoms may

be vague or not noticed right away.  My initial sign and symptoms

were chronic fatigue (over 4 to 6 months) that turned into physical

weakness and shortness of breath on exertion, hair loss (Alopecia),

dry cough, tongue pain and later on developed night sweats. I only

started to feel very ill when the disease had spread throughout my

body creating other signs and symptoms to signal that my body was

undergoing some sort of attack. The amount of time  having this

'silent killer' convert to 'noise' meant that the disease had

progressed to a late stage effecting other systems in my body.

After being misdiagnosed constantly, I had to develop the will and

attitude to fight for answers and to become an advocate for my own

health. Through divine intervention, Dr. Bruce Campbell, MD,

from Internal Medicine took my case seriously and

I give credit to him for saving my life and preparing me for the worst'

      FOR EVERYONE IN LIFE, I PROPOSE A CHALLENGE;

For those who are ill to 'become' HOPE for others, stay true to

yourself and push forward with your life's goals. Your mission is to

put up the best fight win or lose.

For the well, I propose for you to 'become' HOPE for others and

maintain care of your overall health.

it is important to help others by supporting a cause that is pure of

heart and is interested in helping those in need to develop the

strength to overcome, reestablish HOPE, become HOPE, and put up THEIR

BEST FIGHT during adversity

Please continue standing up and supporting others in their own

health struggles.

 I wish you all and your loved ones the very best of

health. 

Warmest Regards,

Professor Donald Oxford York, RRT. M.Phil,, Ph.D (abd)
