i had Choroidal Melanoma when i was about 8 months old they took out my eye to get the cancer out of my body it was sucessful but now i live with a glass eye and am tourmented by my peers almost everyday. And glass eyes are very expensive and my familys insurances doesnt cover most of it so its about 6,000 a year plus check ups. it’s still really expensive even though i dont have cancer anymore, im still reminded of it everyday.

You can’t live only ever seeing the bad bits, can you? You have to make the best of it. Writing a book is quite a good idea, I think bring people’s attention to what it’s really like, rather than them just feeling sorry for us for a while then moving on.

Hello Valeria,
Good day. I truly admire you for your desire to gather information. I’m not an expert in anything but I can safely say that anyone can have a cancer at anytime. There are no exceptions. Coping with cancer requires a lot of education/information about the disease generally. When one is diagnosed with cancer, it is always advisable to seek a second opinion from another professional. In addition, apart from receiving medical treatment, it is wise to seek and get social support as soon as possible–this will help to ease stress build up rapidly. You may also receive vital information about the disease from others too–changes in lifestyle, changes in diet, views of life changes. And always remember to pray for the less fortunate. I hope that I’ve been informative in some small way. Thank you.
Kind regards,
John.

Hi, Melissa. I’m Julie. I recently started school for radiation therapy and am required to do a presentation on the Unique Aspects of Teens with Cancer. I’m not writing a book, but I thought if you were interested maybe you could share some of your personal experiences or answer some questions. Just to tell you a little about myself– I’m an x-ray tech. I’ve worked in that field for several years and decided to go back to school. I love working in the medical field. I feel as though I have a gift of compassion. I love to be able to offer patients comfort and hope during their care. Anyway, I’d love to hear from you.

If you don’t mind, I’ll go ahead and list some questions:
-What was your initial response to the diagnosis?
-How did it affect your social life?
-Did you feel that your independence was taken from you just as you were gaining it?
-What type of support system did you have?
-How did your friends and other relationships respond?

I hope I haven’t completely bombarded you…

Thank you,
Julie
