Dont feel so bad now

After reading some of the stories by others on this forum it made me realise just how fortunate I am. I had really never stopped to think about others who are in the same boat as I might be. People who are still children and others in their 20's being diagnosed with brain cancer. So sad to see people that young being robbed of the life that they may have had in front of them 😞

Living life

Hi there, am going to use this as a diary so that I can record my journey for others to see, hopefully it will give others some hope and make them smile in times that are tough.

Another 'to do'

I completely missed a fundamental piece of ground-breaking research into colorectal cancer in June. I need to get married I already drink foul potions and avoid a long list of 'bad' foods. I exercise, meditate, listen to classical music and watch comedies. I keep a journal and am part of a support group. I guess there is only thing left that could save me: marriage.

The story behind YA CAN....

To friends that I have not yet met and those that I have, but dont know me that well, I would like to tell you a bit about myself and why I'm setting up this group. My journey started when I was 20 and in my second year of uni - doing a Bc Science at usyd. Life was pretty normal and I loved it: I was living in they city, working at a bar and partying most weekends. After taking a shower one morning (and feeling slightly hungover) I noticed a mole bleeding on my back as I dried myself off with a towel. The skin specialist cut it out later that week and it came back as a melanoma.

Full circle

The term 'young' in cancer circles usually refers to people with cancer under the age of 50-60. For me, I prefer the term 'really young', but that would confuse me with the kid or young adult cohort (normally up to the age of 25). The labels and grouping are important because people my age face unique issues when we meet cancer. One of those issues is becoming a child again
