18F Leukemia

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.

Re: 18F Leukemia

Hi

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

Re: 18F Leukemia

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.
