Hey Emily,

I might be late, But I got diagnose back in February 2010. I just finish Chemotherapy about a month ago. I am going in for radiation therapy. And I feel exactly like you. Ive met a couple young people and became friends with them but still a miscommunication. I feel lost when im in the cancer clinic! I am very happy that your in remission and I am crossing my fingers I will be too! But if you don’t mind, if we talk you can email me. if you can respone with an email address I can contact you back at! @

Great to hear you are in remission! I am now 9 months in remission after being treated for Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma at 14. The hospital I went to had a great teen center; they had game rooms set up on the pediatric oncology floor with PS3′s, Xbox’s, computers, and loads of activities to do. We also had social workers that would answer any questions or concerns the other kids had. Hope you’re doing well!

Hey Emily,
I am also a Hodgkin Lymphoma survivor. I was put in remission in January 2010.
I know what you mean about feeling lonely. Having cancer suck. Having cancer really showed me who my true friends were. I am glad that you are doing better. I think its awesome that you are starting that teen center!
Teens will be grateful for that!

Hey Emily,
I think its great you are fine now, thats so cool! I actually dont have any cancer, but I am writing a book about it, so if you could help me with something it would be great, or if you could tell me your story so I could take some ideas from it.
Congratulations!

Hi Leah,
Thank you for your response. I am trying to start a teen center at Children’s DMC Hospital in Detroit, Michigan. I was treated there and I really felt alone as an older patient. I want to not only create a physical space but also put forth a mentoring system to help teens be guided through their treatments and overall experience. I am at a loss of how to put this idea into action and I have contacted many people at the Hospital and they told me my idea is great but space is so limited that I will have to raise a huge amount of money to make it happen. I am extremely determined and I could use any ideas, suggestions, or connections you may have.
Thank you so much
