Welcome to OCF. Im so sorry that you must go thru this at your age. There was another young girl here from England who was only 18 and just recently finished her treatments.
Age is one thing that gives you an advantage at fighting this awful disease. Your body will bounce back much quicker than someone who is older. You have only a few more rough weeks which will be over before you know it.
Ask any questions you need to. You will find tons of info here to help you thru and lots of support too.
