I just typed a long message, but I got
an error and yea it got erased. Long
story shot, im 18 and have a
mesenchymal chondrosarcoma and im
told there is a 20% - 30% chance of
living. Statistic say ill never find anyone
else with this kind of cancer. Does
anyone here have this kind of cancer or
know someone who does? Sorry its
short, my other one was in depth but got
erased.

hi jake, ( i feel like we're in AA)

my father was also just diagnosed with a 

very rare form of cancer that also no 

noe has ever heard of. if you want to 

talk- have someone listen and just 

understand- then let me know. 

hope you are doing "well" (as well as 

you can in this stinky situation)

I know somebody with a rare sickness I'm not 

sure what it is or if it's cancer because they 

have the unscientific name named after him. 

They didn't think he would live past his toddler 

age but he is 12 now. There is always hope. If 

you believe you can defeat the odds I'm sure 

you can.

My uncle was diagnosed with multiple myeloma three years ago. My mom spent a lot of time traveling back and forth to Chicago, where my uncle lives. I felt guilty wishing she were at home with me when my uncle needed her more.
