I’m a 24 year old currently undergoing treatment for lymphoma. I think the treatment days are the hardest for me, I feel like a total outlier next to older folks who have gotten the chance to live a full life and have a family. I know you said this isn’t therapy, but do you have any advice for someone in my situation?

I’m glad to hear you have recovered ❤️ Planning something like that sounds really nice. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks. I am someone who is really active in the outdoor community in my area. I think it’s been really helpful for me to stay engaged with those activities even if I’m not as fit as I used to be. Photographing my friends and mentoring new folks on some of the technical areas of my hobbies (those who can’t do teach haha) when I’m feeling able to has been a real pleasure during treatment. I think your advice is really helpful and I’ll try to be patient with my body as treatment progresses.

Thanks. I’ve been so grateful for support from friends and family throughout all of this. I think I have a lot of be proud of that I’ve accomplished so far and have been reflecting on my choices to persue things that I love. I’ve been trying to stay positive and continue my hobbies during treatment. I’m glad to hear that things have been going well for you, thanks for leaving this comment.
