I had cancer when I was 14 and am now 23. And a mom to 2 wonderful boys! (After doctors told me I would never have children). I has osteosarcoma in my left knee and have a knee replacement. I have been having a hard time dealing with the whole thing lately. I know it has been 9 years but I will need a new knee replacement and the emotions are taking a toll on me. Any survivors out there that want to talk? |

It is rough. I am 24 and I was diagnosed at 21 with lung cancer. I turned 22 in the hospital. Insdead of getting drunk or havin fun with friends I was high on all the drugs they gave me in the hospital. The thing is if u feel like crying then do it. I found the best way of dealing with it was to get it all out. You can e-mail me on here anytime even just to vent. I hope things get better for you.

Hey,
I'm 9 years out also. I was diag. w/ Hodgkins when I was 17, and now I'm 26. I would be happy to talk, and am also thinking about my experience a lot more lately. In May, I went to a conference in Montana for young adult survivors. It was the first time I'd been around other people who shared my experience. It was amazing, but also stirred up a lot of emotion for me. I'm not sure how this msg board works, but please get in touch if you want to talk.

Hi, My name is Maria and I had Non-hodgkins Lymphoma when I was 16. I am now 28. I had to get chemo for over 2 years but have never had any set backs so I am thankful for that. I want to reach out to others and help them but I don't know how.
