hello everyone, i am 18 years old and almost died of stomach cancer. I was wrongly diagnosed and no one knew i had cancer until i was on my deathbed. I had a partial gastrectomy and am struggling with my recovery. I don’t know anyone my age that has had or has cancer. It is very difficult.

    hello, I’m so sorry, I was misdiagnosed also thinking it gallbbladder cancer. Now I’m stage 4 and praying chemo works. I should have pushed it more than I did. Pray you are healing well. Continue your follow up

    Hello barbie101

    I’m sorry you go through this at a very young age. You deserve better days. Just writing here, expressing your frustration and pain can help you emotionally. It seems the community here can give you a certain support. I’ll do my best.

    You were burdened with a horrible nightmare at a very young age but I hope that you may soon come across a beautiful and rewarding transition hopefully giving you a deep satisfaction in life. I wish you a quick recovery.

    Best wishes.
