I am a student at North Dakota State University and I am taking class called Social Research methods. As part of this class we have to do a research paper. I have decided to do a case study on how surviving cancer changes a person's social role. I am looking to doing a case study on this. If you are interested in participating please e-mail me at thescully@hotmail.com. I am also a cancer surivor myself of a childhood Wilm's tumor. Your participation would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!!

    Please do the right thing as a survivor you know right and wrong, so you know what wrong with the system. So change the the system. Gave the right back to the survivor not the doctor and the book writer. Right to know why at test, why at study, what it mean. Don't be a 411 specialist. Stop make us pay for follow up study and test and **** with no answer. I'm a survivor who don't not put with crap.

    Im a 27 year old Leukimia (ALL) survivor from San Diego, CA. 17 years in remission. I went through 4 years of Chemo and right in the middle of my treatment my Doc had medical burnout and left back to her native country. Lovely huh! Fortunately for me and a few other Childrens Hospital here in SD took over our care and got me to where I am today. Nice and Healthy. Let me know if you would like some input or anything

    My name is John and I am a survivor of acinic cell carcinoma in the parotid gland, a most rare tumor, especially at 13, when it first showed. I was diagnosed in '98 at the age of 15, but didn't know it was malignant until after the biopsy. I'm now one month away from my five year anniversary (which will mark me as cured) and I can say that my view of the world has changed drastically since that day. I would love to participate.

    I hope you don't mind me emailing you. I say your statement on the website I just visited.

    My wife is 44 and she has had 7 spinal operations because of a tumor at the base of her brain stem. She's had it since she was 8. 3 years ago, she became quadripeligic. We found a food suppliment that we discovered is a major biochemical breakthrough. It's actually in the PDR, and also in chapter 56 of the 1996 edition of Harper's Biochemistry textbook. Numerous, even thousands of journals have been written about it.

    Anyway, to make a long story short, she now walks. Her last MRI showed that the tumor has calcified. Needless to say, we are very excited about it.

    We have discovered that many people are recovering from all types of auto-immune problems. Even MS, asthma, arthitis, lupis, and the list goes on & on.

    If you're interested, I'd like to talk to you about it. You can call me at (262) 745-2337.

    God bless,

    I'm a 25 year old survivor of ALL residing in Arizona. I was diagnosed at the age of 3 and a half and have been cured for about 19 years. Your message got my attention, as our stories sound similar (although I'm sure they are quite different as well). Feel free to drop me a line if you are interested at the C.S.N. email site, sorcharose

    Hi John,
    My name is Amy. I'm a survivor myself. I also had a rare tumor, Medullablastoma, I was 12 when I was diagnosed. The tumor I had was a spidery tumor that wrapped around random nerves and crushed them. From that I'm deaf in my right ear and I have no sensation on the right side of my face from my eye to the edge of my chin. I have been cured since 1989. I'm glad that you only have a month untill you are pronounced cured. When it was my time my doctor said,"DON'T COME BACK NOW, HEAR!" Have a great pronounced and congratulations!!! Sweet4u2

    Astrocytoma
    My 14 year old daughter was diagnosed a year ago with cellebellar astrocytoma. I am looking for someone who might have or is going through what she is expereincing. She had 6 weeks of radiation and was tumor free right after. The most recent MRI shows either new tumor growth or radiation effects. Apparently this is well known but somewhat rare. She is tired, weak, and needs to know someone who has gone through this to talk to.

    7yr old son with medullablastoma
    You give me hope Amy. We just found out yesterday after my son had finished his chemo and radiation regimen, that a tumor had grown back within a months time. If you have any input I would greatly appreciate it. Take Care of yourself.

    Reading this article reminds me of an author in a very similar situation. Alesia Shute is a childhood cancer survivor and wrote her story. Check out her website because the two of you might be able to help each other. www.everythingsokaybook.com
