Any childhood survivors now in their twenties/early thirties living in or around Philadelphia?
I think joining the CSN is one small step towards re-integrating and processing what I and my family experienced so many years ago.
I was treated at CHOP and my wonderful Oncologist was Dr. Jean Belasco.

not a childhood surviver but
not a childhood surviver but a recent DX in Philadelphia. would love to meet more under 40s in Philadelphia. During chemo I am often sitting next to people in their 70s-80s. Not that that's a bad thing but it's not something I can relate to right now.0 -

Hi my name is Marcus and I am 29 years old an live in Philly. I was diagnosed with a rare and deadly cancer called Leiomyosarcoma when I was 27. I know exactly how you feel I used to sit and laugh to myself like man am I the ONLY one in my twenties! Every doctors office I sat in and believe me it has been many I was surrounded by senior citizens! I felt like I should have broken out a huge game of bingo or a case of Ensure! Haha. Humor will always get you through. I'd love to be friends with either one of you we are a small family but a close one. Cancer has 3 groups. Seniors, Pediatric and Young Adults. Young adults are by far the smallest percentage but that just makes us more special and unique!0
