I was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma at 16, and relapsed not long after my first line treatment and had to undergo a stem cell transplant. I am now 4 years in remission and 23 now. I’m not sure why but recently I have felt the impact more of what I went through years later. It makes me feel isolated as my friends obviously don’t really understand what I went through. Any advice would be great, especially if there is anyone else who went through treatment at a young age.
