After suddenly being diagnosed with a rare form of aggressive cancer, I immediately started spiraling downward. Denial, loneliness, fear, depression, anger, and self-destructive behaviors.

Further and further I slid into the deepest, darkest part of my life. I had come to terms with the fact that my life was over. I was going to die. Until I was rescued from not only cancer - but from myself.

Una corsa paradossale, che porta la cellula a moltiplicarsi fino al punto di pagarne essa stessa il prezzo, uccidendo il corpo ospitante e scomparendo quindi assieme a lui.
