Im a 38 year Childhood Medulloblastoma survivor. I was two and a half. It's 38 years this month. April of 1973 I went into surgery as the Twin Towers in New York were completed. I've been wanting to get involved for a long time. I was thinking of volunteering at the hospital where I had my surgery or giving support/hope to others but life seemed to get in the way. Hope your doing well!

Im not an "Adult" survivor of childhood cancer, but within this past 6 months, I have gone through alot over 2 months in the hospital,4 Surgeries, Intense chemotherapy, A Pulmonary Embolism and 2 other clots, A Hematoma, Pneumonia, Unexplained dizziness and syncope, Unexplained back/chest pain (23 days on morphine), and still some problems going on. But on march 11th, while i was still in the hospital I received a PET scan that had showed there was no sign of the cancer I was in remission, It was a great day in-spite of everything that was still happening and it just so happened to be my birthday. I spent another few weeks in the hospital after that, but in-spite of being in the hospital on my birthday, it was a pretty good birthday in all after receiving the results. A few days later my mediport was surgically removed and I went home a week later.

Hello,
I am a Childhood Survivor of ALL Leukemia. I was diagnosed when i was 15years old, 2 weeks from my birthday. That is one birthday present i could have done without. I am 22 years old now and i am coming up on my 4th year cancer free in July. I am still looking for someone that has been through what i have and around the same age. no one else can understand what you have been through unless they have gone through it too.

I am 15 so I guess that wouldn't qualify me as an adult, but I was diagnosed with a brain tumor when I was three. I'm really glad I found this site. And I'm surprised that so many people have been effected by cancer.

my dad is almost 50. He was born with a wilms tumor and had a kidney removed when he was 7 days old. He went through years of other chemo and radiation to ensure it didnt come back. He has lived his entire life with one kidney that has now grown to the size of 2, he is one of the oldest living cancer survivoris in our area.
