Need support

Hi. My,name is Lahani. I’m 17 yeats old. I was diagnlsed with AML leukemia and its been nothing but a struggle. Emotionally, physcpically, mentally… I have sought support. Been turned away for being a teen, even had people become angry with me for inboxing their facebooks. I am running out of strength. I need support from other cancer victims. Most of all I need friends and someone to talk to, not just when i’m happy but also when I feel discouraged, frightened, sad or angry about my illness. I need people who understand i’m not just feeling sorry for myself. I’vw been emotionally battered in my search. If anyone at all could be a support to me please reply. Please contact me. Thank you.

    Hey I was just diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and I am 19 and i know what kind of what your going through with the treatment and how nobody knows what its like to actually be going through this. I would just like to lend my support and possibly a friendship because I agree it drains everything i have got to deal with this stupid cancer, and I just wanted to lend my support again and let you know you can contact me :)

    Hey, I don’t have A.L.L but i know what you are going through to a certain extent, Im 15 years old and have Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor cancer. If you ever need a friend or someone to talk to I’m here for you. I know how tough it can be to be a teen with cancer. Just know that it may be draining and not fun but it will work out in the long run.

    Anytime you need to talk contact me [:

    Hey!! I don’t physically know what you are going through (I was recently diagnosed with brain tumors) But emotionally I know what you mean. I often feel the same way, friends and family can either be of no help, or think that they are helping, but it’s just hard when they have no idea what you are going through.
    I’d love to talk if you need someone to talk to or even just to listen!

    Hello everyone im writing on behalf of my daughter. She’s has AML and only 1 year of age and she’s already had induction treatment and the chemotherapy hasn’t helped so far. Really im so scared for her right now and in shambles. I just lost my father Dec. 30 to cancer and now my daughter Kara is fighting for her life
