Hi everyone, this is my first message here. I am female patient 18 years old was diagnosed with ALL when I was 16 can hit remission however my ALL relapsed and I want abroad for a stem cell transplant everything went well except I had to get a colostomy put during my salvage chemo. However when it was finally time to return my stoma I got lymph nodes and got a biopsy done and it was non hodgkins lyphoma high grade.
I'm not looking for any pity or anything I was just wondering if there was anyone my age to talk with it can even only be text cause of the chemo I get tired easily. I just feel really alone like nobody understands me and all my friends are in uni or drinking, learning to drive,partying and doing other things and I feel like there's nothing in common with them anymore and all they do is pity me cause its my 3 time now with cancer and that's most definitely not helping with my mentle health. So if you are a teen or young adult even just sending tiktoks is okay I just tired of living trapped in my brain and this body and everyone around me is achieving their dreams.
Hi Starizz Sounds like you have had a tough time and you are still battling on. I am 53 so a lot older than you. There are some parents who have posted about their children who are a similar age to you so maybe they may be able to connect you.
