18F Leukemia

goldenpash321 — Tue, 20 Sep 2022 11:52:30 GMT

Hey everyone,

Never thought that I would be posting on a forum like this but here we are.

I am an 18 year old female who got diagnosed with Leukemia this afternoon and this is the first time that I have said (typed) those words. Honestly I'm just looking for advice as I am currently sprialling into the deep hole of Dr. Google.

i just wanted to message you so that you weren’t alone. I got diagnosed only 5 weeks ago and my world has turned upside down. I know I would appreciate some contact from someone else in a similar situation so am reaching out to say I am here and I heard you. It’s so shocking and so hard and I just wanted to reach out and send you something from someone who feels it too.

ALL THE BEST

Hi there,

You’re not alone, friend. My twin (23f) was just diagnosed with skin cancer so I understand how afraid you must be. Do you have any support or friends to help you during this time? Please let me know if you’d like a buddy to talk to.

you don’t have to go through this alone, I promise.
