#Panic *Loosely based on a true story* There were many transformative and pivotal life events throughout Rene's life, this included her high school graduation, getting proposed to by the love of her life and even preparing to graduate University. However, before any of these milestones happened, there was one pivotal even in Rene's life that changed her forever: follicular thyroid cancer. She had to overcome adversity while trying to get through her Junior year of high school. No one believed she was sick until she got diagnosed and had her surgery. She got bullied by teachers and other students for needing special privileges while not *looking* sick. Even though Rene didn't look sick on the outside, she was slowly losing an uphill battle called life. She didn't know what to do anymore, she no longer feared death, she feared living. *Although this is based off a true story, the names in this Story are 100% fictional to protect identity.
