I am 42 and recently diagnosed with non-curable cancer which is apparently very rare . I came here to find other young(ish) sufferers of cancer generally and to see if anyone else knows anything about my type of cancer...
Everyone here is very friendly and supportive. Ask questions, rant, talk, scream and shout if you like. There are always people around to listen and respond.
i was diagnosed with endometrial cncer in April 2018. Fortunately it was treatable and I have just finished treatment and will attend my follow up appointment on Tuesday. It is normal to feel alone I have found, even when you are surrounded by family and friends and I have been there on many occasions. People on here were my lifeline in those times because they just get how we all feel because they’ve been there themselves. So come here whenever you need to, we’ll be here.
I am sending a virtual squeeze from my hand to yours.
I am 41 now and also was recently diagnosed with ESS (high grade with a low grade component) in June 2018 when I had a major surgery. It was indeed shocking. I just finished the 5th of 6 chemo rounds and I feel very grateful that things are moving in the right direction on my interim scan and also clinically. Try to think positive and I still believe that every disease (one day) will have a cure. Apart from having chemo, I also try to adopt a healthier lifestyle and peaceful mind by turning to God.
