Hey. 20yo Cancer patient myself here (no CML but stage IIIc melanoma, with recurring Mets discovered 4 weeks ago.)

How did you take your diagnosis, how did your family react to it and how did it affects your friends?

I read youre wanting to go to med school here in Germany. That’s actually my plan too ;) and I don’t think it’s any odd you’re looking into oncology and stuff. Especially because of your history.

If you ever need some help with learning German feel free to hit me up :)

Not at all :)

basically... it was pure luck my mum saw this „mole“ once (I was 17 back then). (To be fair it looked pretty weird, like a pink berry on a pretty weird looking mole). Went to see a dermatologist who at first didn’t want to remove it (didn’t seem bad to her) but my mum kept on pushing for them to remove it. They cut it out ~6 weeks after, another 3 weeks later we got the news. In that sense I kinda owe my mum my life.

the new metastasis was discovered at a routine staging. Now party’s really starting XD

True That. She usually really is overcaring as hell. This time it saved my life.

yeah. Better safe than sorry but you shouldn’t be tooo worried :)
