So glad you have talked with your parents! I bet you feel alot better after sharing this news with them.

Boy how I wish cancer would just disappear!!! You have a long road ahead of you, its not always easy but you can get thru this and move on. Your age will greatly help make this so much easier for you.

Keep up that positive thinking, it really does help. At least I think it makes you feel a little better when you look on the bright side of things.
