Within the past day, I was told I have cancer of the thyroid which has spread to my lymph nodes.

I am 19 years old.
I go to college 2 hours away from home.
I have amazing friends.
Im in a sorority.
I have a part time waitressing job.
I am a normal teenager.

I havnt had any emotion about the news yet. My family cried and prayed while I just continued my normal day.

My question is: How do I live the life I loved to live everyday while still taking care of my health and going through multiple surgeries and treatments? I dont want the best years of my life to be taken from me by this..

" It makes me cry to hear young people suffer like this. Please look into vitamin b17 and read http://cancertutor.com/. i have been doing a lot of research into alternative medicene, also look up doctor robert beck. If I ever get cancer i will try the alternatives. you can do some in conjunction with hospital therapy but if you can get some vit b 17 try it. I wish you well xx "
