Hi, Gabe. When I was 12ish but mostly 13, my tummy also became mysteriously bloated and bigger. I would have the habit of patting it because it was like I was pregnant. I told my mom and she thought it was nothing. But then I had these terrible cramps kept me up at night and finally I went to the doctor. She told me that there was definitely something in there. And I had to go to the hospital to get an ultrasound which resulted in me going to the ER. And I had a granulocyte cell tumor, which was contained but cancerous. Thank God, though, when I had surgery I didn’t wake up with a portacath, which meant the cancer didn’t spread. So. I understand what you kind of went through. And will pray that you don’t get cancer. But they had to take my left ovary so, it really isn’t a fun thing. But, God bless, and I hope you stay disease-free!

I connected with facebook if anyone wants to talk. Also I have been making my way though the site and am finding the information very helpful. The Cancer 101 videos were inspiring to watch
Also I would love to make a shout out here to Keenan Brooks, He was in my class and did track with me in school. In May 2006 he was diagnosed with Pleomorphic Sarcoma. Everyone Supported him and his infectious happiness was never diminished despite brain surgery and intense therapy sessions. Some of the teachers even shaved their heads for him. In our Eighth grade year he died. The whole school was devastated. There is now a track meet held every year in honor of him, The Keenan Brooks Invitational. We love you Keenan!
