Hi Adrienne,

It's good for me (a mom) to see other young people are struggling with this too. Errr, that's not what I meant. I wish that NO young person, ever, had to deal with this -- but it is a strange sort of comfort.

I think there are a lot of extra issues for young people. I know my son's treatment has been guided, in part, by his young age. And it has been tough for his friends to figure out how they can help. And then there's the whole issue of starting over, when you haven't really even got much of a first start going.

It sounds like you have had good care and the support of your family. I hope things continue to go well for you.

Best of luck,
Matt's Mom
