    I am 24 years old and was diagnosed with a grade 3 osteosarcoma when I was 17. I recieved multiple treatments of radiation and chemotherapy in Sloan Kttering Hospital in the pediatric center. Feel free to come to me with any questions or just to talk, I was young when this occured in my life and I know it can be hard for others (esp your peers) to understand exactly what it is your going through. I didnt have the availability to talk to others then but I am more than willing to change that for anyone else that is going through treatments. Please contact me if you ever feel the need to talk or just share experience! jadamo112584@yahoo.com

    Hi! I'm 18 but I didn't really have cancer "beast"
    I was diagnosed with schwannoma (rare benign tumor surrounding a nerve) when I was 16. I had my tumor (on neck) removed and my voice box nerve was cut. I had to go through voice therapy for 6 months before I was able to talk without coughing/throwing up/sounding really soft. Now I'm schwannoma free and living like I was before I had schwannoma. Feel free to write back!
