Christopher's Story

Life After 2 years of battling cancer I finally went into "remission" in Nov. 2004. It was a long hard battle trying to deal with the Chemo and the fact that I had a 80% chance of dieing from my diagnosis of Hodgkins Lymphoma. But everyone that ever knew me knows I don't quit and I'm a fighter to the end so I kept on fighting and in the end I'm still here!! I run a 20% risk of it coming back, but I don' let it phase me. People say I'm crazy when I tell them that I am glad it happened to me!! I feel it was GOD giving me my wake up call! It changed my out look on life! I made a 100% change in my life, and how I talk, act, and treat people. I sit back and see how over the years I had become a total ass! An because of that fact, 5 years ago this coming July I lost pretty much the only thing, or I should say the only person that really ever mattered to me in Life!! An i just hope one day I have a chance to express my deepest apologies to this person face to face. As for the rest of my life before I was diagnosed with cancer I was living in Tallahassee, Florida working with North Florida Well Drilling making GREAT!! money. I lived there from 2002 until the summer of 2003 when I started to "get sick!!" I went to the doctors to see what was wrong with me and all I would get is we can't find anything wrong with you!! So I let it go for a few months at this time i was up to 9 months of being sick so I decided it was time to come back to Hanover, Pa. and get a REAL DOCTORS opinion!! An after a week in the h...Expand for more
ospital and about 100 tests later I got the horrible news!! So needless to say I currently have a lawyer and am in the process of filing a nice sized law suit against the doctor in Florida that told me there was "nothing wrong" with me!! At his point I'm still not working but I will be free to go back to work shortly and I CAN'T WAIT!!! I just recently graduated York Vo-Tech's CDL truck driving school which has opened alot of doors for me financially! Which I owe all of it to the York Cancer Center who paid my tution for the class, since I am no longer able to perform the hard manual labor I once did in life because of the Chemo weakining my heart and all my other organs! However i haven't let all this stop my one passion in life and that's the Fire Dept. I'm still in the fire service, and currently I am the Deputy Chief of the Kingsdale Fire Co. I also run with Irishtown Fire Co. and the Eastern York County Forestry Crew. So as you can tell by all this YES I am still single, but by choice!! I prefer being alone over the heart break relationships can cause in life! But who knows maybe one day I will meet another "special person" like I did in the summer of 97 that will just knock me on the ground and cause me to forget about everything and throw all my thinking out the window and choose to open up again inside! But until that day the Fire Dept. is my love!! If you wanna know more come find me I'm not that hard to find!!! Little silver Escort GT with Red Lights and radio antenna's all over it!!
