I’m lucky, I live a life that I love living, with friends that I love being around. It took me a while, after all my treatments, to adapt to just living and behaving in a normal manner again. But I know that for every person who suffered through cancer in childhood, and especially every teenager, I’m in the higher numbers of the statistic. I’m of the percentage that gets the most press, the kind that people talk about when they talk about childhood cancer. But still so many die, in disgracefully underfunded surroundings, with overworked staff and a general hospitals policy that seems to be preparing for a site closure rather than a long-term policy of saving the highest possible number of lives.
