WELCOME!
Are you under the age of eighteen and are currently battling cancer?
 
Then you have come to the right place! Here you are able to socialize with other kids your age who are going through your same experiences. You are not alone! Do not let the social or academic parts of your childhood be effected by your battle with cancer!

Thousands of kids are faced with cancer every day, so it is important to remember that you are not alone in your battle. Cancer is simply another obstacle in life to overcome, so it is important that you continue your everyday childhood life and live it to the fullest. Doctors believe that young cancer patients have a harder time dealing with cancer due to their age. They have found through research and observation that kids are more likely to fall behind in school and lack necessary social skills due to their battle with cancer.

This can all be fixed by making proper choices. Cancer doesn't have to stop you from being a kid! Be sure to stay involved with kids your age. Sometimes your treatment may require you to miss a significant amount of school. Stay after school and get help from your teacher, or ask your parents to get you a tutor for the subjects that you miss class for. Don't let cancer hold you back from participating in activities you enjoy. Stay involved in sports, church, and whatever other activities you decide to participate in. Continue to stay in contact with your friends, and be sure to meet new people as well! Through this website you will find opportunities to meet other kids like you that experience cancer, and also get ideas of ways to stay involved in activities.
 
Remember: We can certainly fight this together!


Welcome!

I invite you to explore my site and enjoy meeting others. Remeber to stay involved with kids your age, and keep up with your school work!
