Non-Hodgkin's Burkitt's Lymphoma Survivors?
 |
Aug 14, 2011 - 6:47 pm
Hello, I was diagnosed when I was 15, and relapsed when I was 16. I'm now attending college and I find that I'm still dealing with some delayed responses and I have a lot of trouble focusing and remembering things. I was wondering if there was anyone else out there who can relate. :) I've been in remission nearly five years, and I've never spoken to another survivor about my experiences. I've never spoken to anyone about my experiences. I've always been reluctant to actually join a support group,(when people start crying, it makes me uncomfortable and I really don't enjoy telling my secrets to strangers who happen to know my face)but this site is much more up my alley. I can talk with people about their experiences. I suppose I'm looking for some friends who know what it was like for me when I was younger, and maybe even to help some of the younger kids nowadays that are going through what I've already been through. I'm looking to talk about life and what it was like then, and what it's like now. Please feel free to send me a message on this site, I'd love to talk to anyone about it, or help anyone through it in any way possible. Thanks all for your interest! |
