Wow. You surely have a lot of strength. As I read this, I thought about what it would be like to go through all you have…and then to have to come to another country on top of it all.
I am so grateful that you reached out to us. You will see that there are a lot of teens on here who can understand some of the feelings you have.

I was young (not a teenager) but a young adult when I went through cancer. It is not easy, but I know that the internet makes it easier these days. Just think about what it is to write on a website and get support—even when you speak a different language.

But in any language…cancer is a monster. Let’s fight that monster together.

Let’s welcome Yangzi…
