“I believe that there needs to be more young adult cancer peer groups. Young former cancer patients like myself struggle to make new friends due to long lasting side effects and disabilities that result from our cancer. These side effects and disabilities cause us to no longer be able to do a lot of things most other young adults like to do. I feel that if we form more cancer peer groups, than young adults who have a harder time getting around can bond with others in similar shoes. “

“I have been going to a camp called Camp Quality since 2014. This camp is where kids with cancer go and get to be kids again. We go for a week in the summer and I have a “camper” that had cancer.

“I confirmed my belief that we must look at all the wonderful things we have in life and practice gratitude, even on our darkest days. In order to overcome our life’s adversities, we must focus on what we can control as opposed to what is out of our hands. “
"Be sure to follow the exact orders of your doctor. Pray. Stay positive and have those around you deal with anything stressful and/or negative in your life so you can place all of your focus and energy on the fight. Be honest and open about how you are feeling emotionally and physically. Allow yourself SELF time."
