I'm 20 and not surprised I have a cancer

I am a girl that's been through a lot. I'm sure I've spent more nights in hospital bed than in my own.

First, I've had lung problems (pulmonary edma, collapsed lung). Then because of my hard situation at home and depression I have developed anorexia. Really bad one, because I am 173 cm and my weight used to be 60 kg and I ended up n-tubed at weight of 28 kg. It was the time when my liver refused to work, my period stopped, it turned out I have bones of 90 years old lady, kidneys failed... My heart stopped three times and the doctors told my mom its a matter of 3 days til I am... well gone.

It wasnt. I wanted to get better. Desperately needeed to be alive. I was 17 then.

One year later I was diagnosed with MS. (accidentaly, having MRI scan because I also suffer from migraines) I started losing my sight. I am a dancer, profesional one, so this illness is also a biggest no to my dreams and hopes.

But the point of this post. Today I also had a MRI scan. Just a check up after another bad attack. I have brain tumor. Now I am just sure I wasnt meant to be alive and happy, eh. Sorry for being so bitter but it was such a bad day.

  • Wow, that is an incerdible amount for one person to have to cope with. I don't reallyknow what to say, other than I don't believe anyone is not meant to live. By the sounds of it you have already beaten a lot of things , make cancer the next thing to beat. I doubt that any of this is helpful, but I do remember a saying my old gran said "Where there is life there's hope". So I suppose all I can really say is, no matter how tempting, never give up.

  • I am so sorry that you are going through all of this. I think life can be very unfair sometimes and I also think that too many good people are taken from this world way too soon and I believe that bad people seem to be given more chances than anyone or anything. This world is backwards. The bad and the evil should be the ones that suffer not people like you who should not have to suffer. You are so young still and have so much life that you still should have to live. It sounds to me like you have already gone through enough so far in your life and it's not even really begun for you yet. I wish I could take away some of your pain and suffering because I would in a heart beat. If you ever need someone to talk to, someone to vent to, someone to write to I am here for you 24/7. You don't know me personally but o believe everyone should be happy and be able to live each day to their fullest potential. I pray you are given the strength and the hope to keep going. Stay strong. My name is Louise xoxo
