Meet Roy Proctor: A Survivor of Transplants, GVHD and Wisdom Beyond His Years
Roy has a perspective on all of this that is humbling, real and evolving. "I've lost things and I've gained things," Roy shares.
Listen in to learn more about this young man's profound strength, determination and authenticity. Roy reminds us that you can control what you can control, and you can let go of what you can't.
You will find yourself rooting for Roy as you follow his journey as an AYA to a resilient young man willing to share his soul to help others. Roy talks frankly about the benefits of therapy on his journey and compares looking for a therapist to looking for a used car--don't be afraid to look under the hood and shop around for the perfect car for you.
Finally, Roy shares his perspective regarding being your own best advocate--learn the language of your disease and educate yourself. There is so much wisdom shared here from a young man who inspires us immensely.
