How about a little #throwbackthursday. This was in 2009 during my visit to see my sister Jackie just before she passed away. And this wasn't when I was at my heaviest. The amount of pain that I was in during this time was terrible. But I tried to enjoy my visit with my nephew, sister & my mama. After all, I knew I wasn't feeling as bad as my dear sis was. She was withering away & still tried her hardest to be active with us. It amazed me how she could always want to go, even when her body was fighting her. I believe she knew she was almost at her end. And I'm in tears now as I recall her frail body then. I would never show you her image because it's a sad image of a woman who wanted so much to live. But God had other plans for her. And this is my point, we never know when our last moments will be. I wish I had looked at my sisters fight for life then & used it as my motivation for my own, instead I allowed my struggles & sorrow to make my life even more difficult. I guess I wasn't at my lowest then. I guess I didn't believe in myself enough. I guess I expected a miracle to happen.....I should've been making my miracle! #makeyourownmiracle #miracles #diabetes #fightforyourhealth #fightforyourlife #tbt #believe #becomepainfreemovement #fattofit #paintofit #family #finding_a_better_you_fitness #healthymovement

If this doesn't encourage you I'm not sure what will... #RP @anthonydaniels_ : For over a year now all of my PET scans have had negative results. My doctors have kept informing me that it will be nearly impossible to eradicate all of the cancer before needing to head into transplant. My current oncologist told me that after my scan on Monday that this is the first time since my initial diagnosis that I have responded so positively towards a treatment! My cancer has shrunk tremendously!!!!This means that I will be needing one more cycle of the current drug in order to be in remission. So basically, after two years of trying to get back into remission I will be heading to Texas at the end of February for my transplant!!!!! This drug was my last chance (after a year and a half of consecutive failure) and it didn't just work, it became arguably my best scan in over 25+ PET scans over the last five years. But of course with this great news, getting into remission was suppose to be the easy part. Soon the hardest leg of my journey will take place where I will be fighting for my life every second of the one hundred days this transplant will take. I can honestly say that every day over the past few years has been getting harder and harder. There were times where I didn't think that I was good enough or strong enough to survive no matter how hard I tried. It just didn't seem like enough because all I did regardless of how positive I was or how much I believed in myself I continued to fail. Just when I thought that this was it and that my body had finally had enough and couldn't go anymore, it finally decided to fight back. It's been two years since my last transplant and now I can finally look forward and prepare for my final fight. For all of those who don't believe in themselves just remember that anything and everything as possible as long as you don't quit. Thank you to everybody for all the prayers and support because without you I would have never made it this far. #anthonysfight #makeyourownmiracle
