Megan Kowalewski was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma back in October of 2011 after she found an abnormal lump on her neck. She started chemotherapy right away, and received the treatments until the spring, when she was deemed cancer-free.
One month later, to her dismay, she got the news that the cancer had come back, and that it was spreading rapidly throughout her system. She had to go through more aggressive treatments this time… but she never gave up.
After taking a new cancer drug, she entered remission, but that didn't mean that she was done with chemotherapy. Even in the midst of all the pain and suffering, she wasn't about to take anything lying down. She even went through with her planned marriage during treatments.
Kowalewski gave it her all in order to fight through this aggressive disease. Even when she couldn't eat for an entire week due to nausea, she never gave up.
To show her fighting spirit, she got together with the nurses at her treatment center, as well as with fellow survivors, to make this truly inspiring music video.
1:22 is a perfect example of the sense of humor she refused to lose during this trying part of her life!
After a year and a half lost to the fight with cancer, Megan is cancer-free. While there's still a chance that it could come back, the five-year window of opportunity for that to happen is quickly approaching. It's looking like Kowalewski's fighting spirit has done a lot of good!
This video was meant to inspire others to fight their battles with as much gusto and positivity as she did. It's incredibly how much a bright outlook can affect the physical well-being of the body… so never give up!
Please SHARE this video if Megan's strong-willed optimism gave you hope!
