There is something that the doctors have said is "new" and a "miracle" and it's called a Survivorship Plan, where you plan how often you will get scans and check-ups for the next few years. Not sure how that's new, but maybe there is more to it. That's all I know about that.

I plan to get a job and finish my last year in high school strong! Then I want to get into a nice college for business or music production. Yes I am a senior in high school this year (:

They are two different things, so I can't give specifics. Just try to be happy and a positive influence for the people around you. it may sound silly, but being positive in the hardest times and inspiring others will make you happy. You can do it!

Congratulations! You've been through hell but you made it back! Chemo for me was very bad. I had bad nausea and would get nauseated on the pre-meds. The chemo lasted 6-8 hours and I would try to sleep as much as possible. The saline flush didn't taste too bad to me, but I know some people absolutely hated it. What is bad for me was the popsicles I had to eat during that "red death" chemo drug. I can't stand popsicles, ice chips, or ice cream anymore. I get sick thinking about them.

Initially I laughed at the thought of me having cancer. My past three years in high school I had put people down and only cared for myself and now I was being punished in a way. I cried one good time and promised myself that whatever I went through, I would be positive. Even the people I had put down showed support for me and it blew me away. Now I am only positive and am the first person to become friends with "that new kid" or "that kid with no friends."

It's very inspiring to me that they viewed the world that way. I can understand their view a little bit (of course not entirely because I've never been told I will die). Having to deal with this situation has made me more patient, understanding, and positive. I have never been happier. I don't want anyone to have to deal with what I, and many others have; however, I wish people would view life with a more positive perspective and understand it's all about being happy with yourself and those around you.
