This is how Alter Bridge have helped me through Cancer

---

Hello Guys.

My name is Alon Levin.
I'm a huge fan from Israel (ever since WWE started using your songs back in 2004).
I've had the privilege and honor of being in two concerts that you've had (Alter Bridge) in Rock im Park at 2008 and 2014.

Last year, I've been diagnosed with a Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma. This is a rare and violent cancer.

I wasn't allowed to get out of my house for 6 months only for the chemo treatments.
While facing this difficult verdict and side effects, your music has been my ray of light. When songs as 'Close My Eyes Forever' played in my head, Myles was screaming at me from my headphones straight to my head 'Don't close your eyes, something beautiful is there alive'.
I can't really explain how much strength you've given me and I beat Cancer last January.

Unfortunately it's back right now, in a much severe form. My neck has been already infected along with all inner organs and has already infected my stomach as well.
This time I'm facing a much brutal treatment while being hospitalized the whole time (approx 6 months - 1 year).

I'm going in this time much more confident and much stronger.

I'll be hearing you a lot, and hopefully, once I'm done beating Cancer's ass (again), I'll be coming for a show wherever you'll be performing, hopefully I'll even see you in Israel if you'll be coming over.

So that's all for now, I'm adding the whole story (of the first time) to this message if you'd like to read it. It was very viral in Israel back then (The Hebrew version of course).
Thank you guys for the music, the inspiration and the strength you're giving me.
Tell Myles he's still screaming at me :)

Take care and thanks for listening!

Alon Levin.
