Hi,
I'm a 9 year survivor of Hodgkins Lymphoma, and I'm new to CSN. I'm 26 years old and live in Chicago, Il. I recently attended camp mak-a-dream's young adult survivor conference, and it was so great to be around other survivors under 40. I'm hoping to find any other survivors in Chicago who wouldlike to meet up occasionally...maybe get coffee or a beer?
C'mon, it's a big city...there have to be more of us..

Hi lelamay!
I am so happy to hear your good news! I am also a blood cancer survivor. I was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia when I was 21. I am now 31 and have been in remission almost 9 years! I live in California, but if your offer for frindship extends out here, then I accept! Hope you are doing well. Take care. God bless.

Hi lele,
I'm a 5 and 1/2 year survivor of hodgkin's disease and I'm also new to CSN. I am 29 years old and live in the northside of Chicago. I would like to meet for coffee maybe. Let me know.
