No words to describe getting married during cancer treatment

On Treatment
Written By Liz Salmi

I am up late tonight.

I'm getting married in almost a week and I need to think about what I will write for my wedding vows.

It is hard to think of something to say that will fit within just a minute of time to capture the amazing amount of love I have for a man who essentially saved my life. I am a strong person, but I wouldn't be where I am today without Brett. I would not be as healthy or as happy as I am.

And health and happiness means I am going to live a longer life.
