Hi to all,
I was diagnosed at 2yrs old with stage 4 rare kidney cancer (wilms tumour). I had surgery and chemo but it had already spread to my lungs with mets and tumours. I had more surgery and treatment including radiography and chemotherapy .After further scans it had progressed to my brain. I had a tumor removed with radiography. Finally after about 5 years I went into rremission.I have wanted to talk through my experience with my parents but I know it must have been hell on earth for them. Sometimes I just want to know "why me, why did I have to go through it"? That might sound selfish as no-one should ever have to get cancer.
I would appreciate anyone just chatting to me about their experiences and ways they mentally deal with difficulties.
Thanks 
Hi JayneS and welcome to the Online Community but I am sorry to hear about the journey you have been on.... and you are not being selfish, we all have to unload at times as it's all part of moving life on.
The Community is actually divided into dedicated Support Groups (Discussion Rooms) so if you care to have a look through THIS LIST you will find all our many dedicated cancer specific support groups listed. These groups are safe places to talk to others with a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and get support and this second list is for our various other General Cancer experience groups.
Have a look through the to Group Lists and then when you want to join a group click on “Click to Join” when the black banner appears or “Join” under “Group Tools” (this all depends on the device you are using)
You can then put up your own post when you’re ready by clicking “+new” or “+” in the top right next to the group title. You can copy and paste the text from this post into your new post. You can also scroll through other members posts and click “Reply” to get involved.
Our Support Line teams are available 7 days a week, 8am-8pm on freephone 0808 808 00 00, email or live webchat where you will find one of team there to help you out.
We also have our Telephone Buddy Service where you can be matched with someone who understands what you're going through, and they'll give you a weekly call.
Talking to people face to face can be very helpful so do check to see if you have any Local Macmillan Support in your area, do also check for a local Maggie's Centre as these folks are amazing.
Do get back to me if you need further help.
