Hey Israel, sorry to hear about your story.

I'm also 21 years old. I was officially diagnosed just after my 21st birthday last year.

We're a bit of a rare breed at our age. But try to see that as a positive. Our youth can certainly have it's advantages fighting this disease. We must all be ready for the battle of our lives though. Being in a good place mentally helped me. I tried to embrace the battle and focus on getting through each day. Some days are much tougher than others. But having the determination to get through those tough days, gets you through to the better days. And you have to believe they will come.

Coming here for support is a great start. I wasn't aware of this site until after I finished treatment. I wish I'd discovered it earlier..

If you ever want to chat, I'm on the facebook list in the 'friends' section of this forum. You can msg me on there or on here. You're not alone in this fight.

All the best mate.
