I was 25 when I was diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia on 15th September, 2006. At first I felt lost, I was afraid. But with a lot of support from my family, friends and an online CLL support group, I grew stronger. I am now a CLL warrior, and a WonderWoman fighting against cancer. This is my story.
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia is a blood cancer found more commonly among Westerner males, above the age of 50. I am a Chinese female, and was diagnosed at 25. What are the chances, really? Since then I start buying more toto. Because if I can get such a rare cancer which occurs only 1 in a million chance to someone like me, then winning 1 million dollars doesn't seem like such an impossible dream right? ^_^ Yes, I am positively optimistic. ^_~

Hi Fay
Happened to see your blog from a caregiver kel's blog.
I am a new cancer patient, will be seeing the Oncologist tomorrow to see what type of treatment I need.
You guys are really marvellous, facing all those scary chemos and fighting the monster (like what Molly called it). I wish I will have the same strength to go through the treatment.
Anyway all the best!
Hi Josy,
Sorry to hear you are a new cancer patient. Get lotsa support from fellow fighters. You will find this journey a lot more bearable than you may think.
May I know what are you diagnosed with?
Cheers,
Fay
Hi Fay,
My name is Liz and I have come across you blog some time ago. I am so sorry that you have to face this battle, but you can face it and you can come out a stronger person for it. Your optimism and resilience is truly amazing and I hope to read soon that you are in remission and on your way to full recovery.
That said, since your blog is a great resource for someone going through cancer I wanted to reach out to you to see if you were interested in a new online social support network (that I am the community manager of!) called I Had Cancer. It is a new and free social support network focused on connecting people based on experiences with cancer so that they can easily communicate with one another and share information. I would love to tell you more if you are interested, so please let me know! Because I was so struck by your writing I would love to send you an early-access pass with extra invites for others you may know going through this journey.
Either way, thank you so much for your writing. Take care and best regards.

If anyone else would like information on I Had Cancer please email me.
