As many of you may remember, I've had several problems battling with my cancer and remission. I had a doctor appointment today and I'm going on 2 and a half months into remission. I've gained back 20 pounds that I needed desperately, and I'm actually going back to highschool. Last year I fell into depression regarding my health and several life events and started abusing some illegal substances, and was put into foster care, leading in my dropping out. I'm now 8 months clean and already registered to start school Wednesday. I lost that year so this year I'm starting my 2nd freshman year, but I'm very proud that I'm actually doing it.

Things are turning up and I want this to be inspiration that things really do get worse before they get better.

:)

Wonderful news hun! So glad life is getting better for you.

You are such a strong and mature teen; I can honestly say if I had gone through everything you've been through in your short life I would have such a bleak outlook on life.

You are truly an inspiration to all of us!! <3 <3 <3

Thank you so much. I used to get mad at the world and everyone around me that I was put into these situations that I couldn't control at all, but the more I think about it, I'm glad it was me. I was one of the lucky ones who was strong enough to make it out. I'm lucky. I'm healthy. And I'm going to make it​ for goodness sakes.

Congratulations on being in remission. Hopefully you will completely kick cancer's butt! It sounds like you missed a lot of time being a kid and having fun. I sure hope you get to make that time up. Good luck in school!!

Congratulations on being in remission. My aunt just hit the 5 year remission mark of breast cancer. Glad to hear hun :) As far as school, you can do it. I graduated high school at 19, married with two daughters. I am now 24, have my diploma, Associates degree and am working on my Bachelors degree, still married and now with three daughters :) It is really hard but if you put your mind to it, it can be done. Congrats on how far you've made it already.

It's okay, I have perfect non examples around me and the most I can do is start doing well for myself :)
