I posted a comment to your last question, but hadn't checked your profile, and now wish I had. I can only imagine how being 18 with cancer could suck in such a huge way, having gone through a trauma myself at your age (not cancer but something extremely painful that people my age just couldn't understand).
Anyway, just know that I'm keeping you in my thoughts and I'm so glad you found this community!

Just discovered this wonderful site! Excited to be here and look forward to getting to know you all. I'm a 9-year lung cancer survivor who has just learned (or accepted) that this may indeed be a chronic condition. Have learned a lot (as a survivor, patient, and journalist) about the psychosocial side of cancer, and am eager to learn and share more!
