The Enemy Inside Me

Brandi Benson had only recently come into her new life as a soldier in the U.S. Army when she was sent to wartime Iraq just months after basic training. She forms a mental picture of the threats she might face composed of M16s hand grenades and land mines. Her first encounter with a dangerous threat comes during an aeroplane ride to a hospital in Germany and ironically propels her toward an internal battle that leaves her reeling in shock. To Brandis surprise this threat does not appear in the form of men with machine guns but on a medical scan that reads Ewings Sarcoma. Once a vibrant 24-year old wearing the picture of fitness and perfect health Brandi faces a different type of war that requires new weapons: hope faith and strength.The Enemy Inside Me is a poignant yet true account of a young soldiers fight with cancer that begins miles away from enemy lines. Her journey is a gripping reminder that every moment is a gift and every breath is a blessing.
