I am so excited to have found this forum! After going through a diagnosis and treatment the past 5 months, it is so helpful to see that other people (and my age too!) have been through the same thing. I recently finished my round of Erbitux and radiation 3 weeks ago and am so thankful to have made it through. The hard part was not knowing anyone else that had been through it- as a 24 year old, I don't have ANY friends that have dealt with cancer.

I am so thankful that I was able to move to be with my family during this time. Also, I was lead to the most knowledgable doctors in the area- they have taken such good care of me!

This forum is such a great idea and I can't even imagine how helpful it is to people!
