Despite my being opposite politically, I will also be grateful for him voting against the repeal.

In 1990, I was diagnosed with follicular lymphoma.

It returned in 2002 and 2019 as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).

In 2019, I went through 4 different therapies over 2 years; all failed.

Due to ACA and its ban on lifetime limits, I was able to have a fifth treatment which proved to be successful.
