Availa — 21 & A True Survivor

My name is Availa, and today I celebrate my 21st birthday. This day is not just another birthday for me—it is a symbol of survival, courage, and hope. Reaching 21 is a blessing that I once thought might never happen. Every year of my life has been precious, but the past few years have been the most challenging, testing my strength in ways I could never have imagined.

I have undergone 66 chemotherapy sessions, each one a battle against cancer that pushed my body and spirit to the limit. There were days filled with pain, fear, and uncertainty, yet I never gave up. Every treatment, every hospital visit, and every sleepless night brought me closer to my goal: to stand here today as a survivor. The journey was grueling, but it taught me lessons about resilience that I will carry forever.

I owe my survival to many incredible people and resources. Compassionate specialist oncology doctors guided me through every step of treatment. AI-powered diagnostics helped detect and monitor my condition with precision, and private hospital care ensured I received the best possible support. Global health insurance coverage made it possible for me to access these treatments without the added worry of financial burden. I am forever grateful to everyone who helped me through this journey.


Throughout this experience, I learned the true meaning of courage and hope. Courage is not the absence of fear; it is the determination to move forward despite it. Hope is the light that kept me going during the darkest moments. Even when my body was weak, my heart remained strong, fueled by the dreams I still wished to pursue. These lessons have shaped me into a stronger, more determined person than I could have imagined.

Today marks my very last chemotherapy session—a milestone that fills me with indescribable joy and relief. I celebrate not only my birthday but also the victory over countless challenges. Each moment of suffering has been transformed into a story of strength, and every tear shed has become a reminder of the value of life. My heart is full of gratitude for the support of family, friends, and the medical professionals who never gave up on me.

As I look to the future, I see a world full of possibilities. My dreams are brighter than ever, and my spirit is stronger than ever before. I hope to use my experience to inspire others who are fighting their own battles, reminding them that survival is possible with courage, hope, and perseverance. Please keep me in your prayers as I continue this journey, and celebrate this day with me—a day that represents life, strength, and the power of never giving up.
