Last week I created a discussion about cancer support for people in their 20's and it's not here anymore. Why is that?

    Hi Lily,I'm not sure where
    Hi Lily,

    I'm not sure where your post went since I am new to this site. However, I am finding a hard time finding a support group for those in their 20's as well. What were you diagnosed with?
    I was 26, (just turned 27 a few weeks ago) when I was diagnosed with tongue cancer in October 2010. While in the hospital I was surrounded by men 60 years of age or older and now waiting for my radiation treatments, I see everyone aged 50 and up. I know it's hard on them too, but it's just so hard to relate to them and not feel so out of place.

    OMG, that is EXACTLY what I
    OMG, that is EXACTLY what I went through! I was the youngest in my treatment center and support group by like 25 years! The post I left on here was about where people our age, I'm 24, go for support b/c no one else can relate to what it's like to be 24 and sick. A great resource I found is stupidcancer.com. They are all about young adults and do a lot of fun things for people like us. Where are you from? I'm an hour from NYC by CT. Hope you're doing well and Happy New Year!! Lily

    Thanks
    Thanks for the suggested site! Actually, I am from Canada, live in Toronto, Ontario. I never really thought of looking for a site for people around where I live, but it's still great to hear perspectives from whomever. Hope you're doing well, too. Happy New Year! Hope this New Year brings us better things!
