So you realize life is REALLY REALLY short...
When a doctor says to you: "you have cancer."
Holy fuck.
Get the fuck out. You? 
Yeah I was diagnosed yesterday.
It's not the end of the world, depending on the location of this malignant tumor. Also, if metastasis does not occur. Even if it does, it's still possible to survive.
I just went through this with myself and still going through it. I literally thought the end of the world when my DR told me but the last thing I wanted to do was stay depressed because I know it doesn't have to be so dreadful. It can be found, treated and taken out. I feel for you girly, stay strong.
Honestly I don't think it's the end of the world. It's more or less like "Jesus, I'm fucking 23 and all I see in the near-future is tests, surgeries, treatments, and chemo. You have GOT to be kidding me."
And the fact that I've been mistreated for the past couple of months doesn't help... a couple of months = spreading of way too fast moving cancer.
I've had a bit of a cancer scare recently. Gotta go get an op done in a few weeks. Doc says it's not likely to be anything bad, but I'm still shitting myself.
This sort of thing happens all the time. There are lots of survivors out there!
You'll be alright kiddo, best of luck!
I hope the best for you. Godspeed.
I did a whole bunch of surgeries in 2006 because they noticed the "beginning stages" of cancer... (hence why I was mia on TA from like mid 06 through 2007). I didn't work all that time because of the after effects of the surgeries and whatnot. They thought they got it all. Turns out they didn't... it spread to 3 different organs now.
//edit
Thanks for the wishes guys 
Holy shit, which type? My bro had testicular cancer.*
Don't let it define you. This is the first stage and you'll be in shock. Just ride the roller coaster that is going to come in the next few days. Stay close to those who really care about you.
It is a hammer blow to hear that word, but in most cases it is treatable. Remember each type is different and to associate the 'C' word with what you have is overly general.
Your brain will be going a mile a minute just now but remember nothing will change over the next few weeks really aside from you'll be having to goto shitty hospitals that will try to (annoyingly, disturbingly even) make you feel at home /normal in a situation farthest from that as possible.
I've not been in your situation exactly, neither have most of the people on here. Maybe a group online is the best place to look (it was for a condition I had)?
Aside from that hopefully the next period is as stress free as possible and you get good news on your treatment options.
EDIT: My bro is now built as fuck too. 
Was fairly touch and go at points (secondarys and so on, big op after big op). And now he can bench 100kgs (220lbs) or more no problem. You can get over this it will be tough, but you have control.
making no promises on benching 100kgs tho
Also may sound weird, but don't worry how you feel, might feel fine might feel shit. Might hate people might love people. You can't help it. Be selfish for now but involve your loved ones, they'll done ANYTHING they can. There is no wrong way to feel.
:/
hope you get better (and not get offended by cancer jokes that may occur, y'know, in the general sense).
Damn though, that really does actually suck hugelyvastlymassivelysavagegardenly.
Kick its ass!
And make your doctors EARN their pay. 2 months of spreading is unacceptable.
Luck and love, squirrelly.

I wasnt ever planning on posting in this forum again but i was lead to this thread. So today i will make an exception.
Sara, I'm sorry babe. If you need my jacket the offer is still on the table :P. I know you're a strong girl and can beat this. If you can spend a weekend with diginut u can spend months getting rid of this. I wish you the best of luck. And if you ever need anything please just ask.
How did you know you may have had cancer back in 06 - 07. what symptons made u say "okay i need to go see a doc and get tested?"
You might be the first ta to get cancer :shake:. Really freaky and i hope everything works out for you.
On a related note.... We have been here for a good time now (on ta).... It wouldnt surprise me if some of us start dying, or getting really ill or.... i cant come up with anything else, but 
very sorry to hear but keep hope alive. im sure youll get through it.
I'm so sorry to hear that, my mother is a cancer survivor at the age of 51, she had phase 4 thymoma. Don't worry, hold your head up. With the advancements in medicine & technology and given your young age, you'll pull through. Don't let it bring you down and stop you from living your life to the fullest. There's not anything else I can really tell you since I don't personally know you and can't be there for the support. The best way to keep yourself mentally balanced and prepared for surgery and/or chemotherapy if necessary is to turn to family & friends for that support which is crucial to anyone in your situation. Good luck.

OMG Sara!!!!!! Tricia just told me about this thread, and my sincerest hopes go out to you. I hope all goes well. I know you will pull through this. You're younger than I! YOU MUST PULL THROUGH!!!!!!! lol
That sucks really hard. =/
fuck
On a selfish note I don't know any relative or family who has cancer so I hope don't have the genetics for it.
As everyone has said, don't let it beat you up. I've known 3 people with it who were young and fought it off like the bitch it was.
You tell it who is boss.
Remember that.
im sorry to here that, i hope u get better soon.
welcome to the club, i have thyroid cancer....
u guys can all laugh at me now.
Oh my squirrelly girly. Aaaaaaaaaaaaargh.
I 2nd your holy fuck.
<3 and kissies.
Eat broccolli!
I'm just going to pretend someone hacked your account before it sinks in any further...
I don't know you at all but you have my best wishes.
Like everyone's said here the younger you are, the better. I've had two cousins with different types of cancers pull through just fine, one of them got really close too. You just have to keep your spirits up and fight it as hard as you can.
Good luck.
I don't know what it is like to have those words confirmed... but I distinctively remember the moment when I was told "You might have cancer". I felt sick to my stomach, and I was literally making myself ill over the worry and stress from it. I was hospitalized multiple times within weeks of hearing those words.
Finally, I came to a point where I realized that worrying, stressing and being upset about it was not going to change anything. If anything, it was going to make my health worse, and would certainly tarnish the quality of life I had left.
Although I am pretty positive my surgery led them to negative results, I don't "officially" find out until June 4th.
However, I have come to realize that life is short, as you said, and it truly matters how you live day to day. When you are breathing your last breaths, the only thing that will matter to you is how you lived your life, and treated those you loved.
This is the perfect time for you to not focus on the tests, surgeries and chemo, but instead, focus on making the absolute most out of your time. Be with the people you love, and make sure that they know you love them. Laugh, smile and have fun.
I know it can be hard when you are feeling like crap... and I absolutely know how hard it can be to keep your head up when all you want to do is break down and sob. It's ok to break down, but don't forget to pick yourself up and keep on truckin'.
They say that the quality of life you lead when diagnosed with this type of illness can directly affect the way you respond to treatments... people who are happy and positive are more likely to have better results. Keep that in mind.
I hope that all goes well for you. I wish you the best of luck and pray that you recover, or at the very least, enjoyed the life you've lived.
