Hey everyone.. i'm new to the group! My name is Heather and I'm a survivor of Osteosarcoma in the sacrum. I was diagnosed when I was 14 and am proud to say that I have been cancer free for 9 years and off of treatment for 8 years. I'm looking for a group where I can talk with people around my age that have/are going through alot of the same things I went and am going through! I hope to get to know some of you!

    Hi Heather,
    My name is Rich,
    Hi Heather,

    My name is Rich, I am 19 and a cancer survivor, and I dont really know of any types of groups that are out there for those who were younger with cancer, but one would think with the internet and all but if you would want to try and form one I would be more than glad to join!

    Welcome
    Hi everyone,
    I have been a member here a few years but I haven't gotten back to posting until now. I am a 29 year old survivor of Neuroblastoma. I was diagnosed when I was about 13 months old and had both chemo and radiation. I also had surgery to remove my adreanal gland and kidney. If anyone would like to contact me send me a message here or to my e-mail address: larien@sbcglobal.net. Wishing everyone a happy holiday season.
