First off my name is Mikayla , and this is the second time i posted this, i deleted the first because i got scared after a while cause i havent really showed anyone how i really looked without my hair, hell i barely found this picture cause i hardely have any of me without my hair cause i was too insecure to actually let someone see me. So almost 3 years ago on September 21, 2010 i was diagnosed with acute myloid leukemia which is a fancy word for you have cancer in the blood. I was told i would have to live in the hospital and have surgery to get a tube in my chest so i could get the chemotherapy i needed. I was in and out of the hospital and before this i loved gaga but i admit i wasnt gaga over gaga yet but while this was all happening i really grew to love her. I remember when my hair started to fall out i broke down and i told my mom i want it all taken off just shave it off and after i always wore a beenie or i had a wig i would never let anyone not even the nurses see me. But i remember after watching gaga videos i got the courage one day and i let my family and the nurses see me. Then the make a wish foundation had asked me if i had a wish what would it be and i said i want to meet my saviour basically, lady gaga and they said no promises but they would try. I automatically thought no way this isnt gunna happen but on March 25, 2011 my mom said pack your bags we are going to vegas the last thing that came to mind was meeting gaga but as soon as we got there a lady that worked with the foundation had my makeup done and a dress made for me and we seen the Monsterball and when paparazzi came on i was told to wait backstage. I remember hearing her heels in the hallway and i started bawling my eyes out and she ran to me and said "sweetie are you okay" and i nodded and she said come here sit on my lap and i didnt budge but she got me and sat me on her lap and squeezed me so tight and she talked to me about my cancer and i told her how i was insecure and she told me "Mikayla dont ever be afraid to walk outside without your wig, FUCK what eveyone else has to say, I didnt even know you had a wig on and im sure your beautiful without it and if anyone tells you different remember what im telling you now" and she opened up to me about things she dealt with when she was younger, she genuinely cared about me and what i was going through. It was the best day of my life and she also gave me a wig of hers and a replica of the robe she was wearing that day. Shortly after this i went back to school and was bullied for wearing a wig and for being attracted to girls i heard anything from, "She likes girls thats weird, to ew people who wear wigs are gross and she has some sort of disease look at her scars" they made me feel like an animal with some disease and at first i spiraled down but then i remember what she told me and it gave me the strength to say fuck you i dont need to worry about your opinions. And after i had the chance to see the born this way ball, and i wore the robe she gave me and i may be mistake but i could swear she was staring right at me at one point in the show and I literally cant thank gaga enough for what she has done for me, and around the same time i met her they stopped my chemo and to this day im cancer free almost 3 years. I love you gaga and i cant begin to thank you enough.
