A.L.L. childhood cancer survivors?

Question

I'm a A.L.L. survivor. I was diagnosed at 18 months and went through treatments for 4 yrs. I have regained a pretty normal life with the exception of a low immune system. But, the one thing I've always wanted I can't find because out of the 20 something children diagnosed in that hospital that day I'm the only one that's left living. I want to find someone that has also gone through this to be able to share the experiences of life during and after cancer. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

i'm so glad to hear you beat your cancer. I'm not a survivor. but my son was just diagnosed with A.L.L on 7-29-08. he will be 4 in october. he is getting chemo and will need to be treated for 3 and a half years. he is considered high risk because his white count was 50 thousand. i know this has nothing to do with your question but it always makes me feel a little better just knowing that people do survive. i know that there's no guarantee he will be cured but i'm hopeful and i pray alot and that's all i can do besides trust his doctors and do everything they tell us to. well again i'm so happy your doing well and i will pray for you to have a very long happy healthy life. and i do hope you find someone to talk to .

Answer 2

I'm not a survivor myself but I was doing some research on cancer, I found this really good website where cancer survivors can talk to people who have also survived cancer. Its a bit like bebo and facebook, you make yourself a profile and then you can write comments to different people on it and also write blogs etc. It is specially designed for teenagers..

I really hope that it will help,
