Shaylynn,
I am so sorry you have to deal with this when you are so young. Christine is right though that your youth may help you get through the treatments and recover more quickly. The other 23 year-old who posts here often (look for her posts under sobradley - you can find her posts by looking under the User List near the top of the page) should be really helpful for you. You'll know a lot more about what to expect once you get all of your initial tests.
