Maybe we should start a club. (20 year old girl, 2x survivor)

Edit: We do have enough young adult patients/survivors for a club (yay?...haha).
This is a great foundation for people ages 15-40 to check out- http://stupidcancer.com/about/index.shtml

Hi, I'm a 20yo cancer survivor (had rhabdomyosarcoma twice. once when I was 14, again at 17). For me hearing "Your such a strong person, you're going to get through this" was hard because to me it implied that the people who died from cancer were somehow less strong, somehow fought less hard. It hurt to hear people tell me I was "strong" because I knew many other strong young people who didn't make it.

Cancer sucks like no other. Seriously. My absolute best wishes to you for your happiness and comfort.
