Welcome to B.Joy Boutique!
My name is Marbella Mancia and I am founder of B. Joy! I am a Leukemia Survivor! I went from being severely anemic to having Acute Myeloid Leukemia. My main diagnosis was MDS,( Myelodysplastic syndrome). This sickness transformed my life. It slowed me down ! I didn’t have a life other than the hospital. I had many bone marrow biopsy’s, I was treated with chemotherapy, I took many amounts of pills. I was poked so many times! When they try to take my blood they couldn’t even find a vein sometimes. I was always bruised and hurting, had so many transfusions of blood and platelets that I’ve lost count. The secondary effects were horrible. Sometimes I would get riggers or hives. My hair was falling out slowly so I started cutting it shorter and shorter. When I started vomiting and having diarrhea, I became so weak, lost so much weight.
My body acted up in so many ways, I couldn’t walk, my knees were swollen. I didn’t have an immune system so I was always sick and with a fever. Foods and drinks start tasting differently. You have food limitations. The struggle is real in so many ways. One of my worst sickness that I truly have recorded in my memory is C. diff. I really thought that I was going to die that day. My mother rushed me to the ER, we got there in no time. That bacteria is no joke. I had high fevers, crazy bowel movements. My blood pressure dropped tremendously. The doctors had to put a central line in me. I was in the MICU for one week. Finally after so many struggles and sicknesses I had a full match! A donor who’s white cells helped me! The recovery process was rough! I still went through so many things. So many medications to prevent and to cure, it was crazy! I didn’t eat nor drink anything. They thought I was depressed but my body was just in overload. All I wanted was to go home and be with my daughter and family. Being home changed the location and my emotions but I was basically in a bubble. I lost connection with many people, things and food!
In the midst of this whole process I was able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I looked upon the Lord, for He gave me strength, will, wisdom and uplifted my faith! I was meant to go through this process! I see the world differently! God gave me another chance to live! I fell in Love with the Lord! He lifted my spirit in every moment! I was in a tough situation but all I needed to do was pray and have faith! I gave him thanks because by faith I was healed! He tells me in his word ( Isaiah 53:5) NIV, But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, and by His wounds we are healed. I have been through so much and I still find the Joy in the process! No matter what I am dealing with God has never left my side! No matter how things may look I find comfort in His word. ( Psalm 30:5 NIV)... But Joy comes with the morning. I feel like a warrior women, because the strength that God gives me is immense. When I gave Christ my life, I didn’t realize how much everything would change. How he would become my everything.
So I am building this company to share my testimony and the Lord’s greatness in my life. I want to make you aware of this terrible disease called Leukemia. I want to build a foundation to help others in the financial situation that I was in. To help pay for a meal or rent. I am ready to help you pray! Thank you so much!
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
