Battling Cancer
16 year old female
I'm 16 yrs old and currently battling cancer. I had to stop school as I was too sick to continue. It's been rough as I have had leukaemia for over 3 yrs now and it affects my daily life a lot. I can't walk very far without getting tired and I can't really be a ‘normal’ teen. It makes me upset sometimes but then I realise that at least I'm still alive. My friends are great - they support me and come and visit when I'm sick. I have a great boyfriend who is amazing, always visiting me when I'm in hospital and at home.
I was depressed for a short time and I didn't think Kids Helpline could help but I rang the helpline and talked to a lovely young lady who helped me through my hard times when I was lonely. It was great to have some1 who would listen and give me advice to get me through the rough times. I'm slowly getting better but it is hard, but of course it is possible to get through it I believe, and so should you!! THANK YOU for reading my story and THANK YOU Kids Helpline :)
