Imagine one day finding out that you have a disease. Imagine it being brain cancer.
Scared yet?
You're only 22 years old.
"It's been the craziest experience. I have to be sick just to feel better."
Reginald D. Johnson Sr. is this young man's name. And he is determined to beat this so-called disease. Anaplasic Oligodendroglioma. huh?
Oh wait. No.
Correction.
Ependymoma.
Best known as Brain Cancer.
"Truthfully, I was ULTRA surprised. Because I originally came in for a heart check-up. The doctors then said that they would have to do an MRI."
Note: MRI - Magnetic Resonance Imaging, help physicians visualize the internal structure of the human body.
Imagine your future depending on the one picture that tells it all.
"CLEARLY, They found the problem... Damn."
Ok.
So you have the cancer. What do you do now? Do you go to bed and cry your sweet eyes out? Or do you just...
...die?
"The doctors straight up told me that I need to undergo surgical procedures. And then, um, lets see, (laughs), so I did it. I had no choice. I mean, did I really?"
