Over a decade of being in remission and only 14 years old, I created this blog for teens my age who are going through cancer, parents of kids who are my age or even younger going through cancer, and kids who are my age and just going into remission.

Scar stories
Most people have scars, wether it be from falling or getting a cut. Most people have a story to go with their scars. My scar stories are just a little different. I have scars on my neck, my arms, and my chest, from the pokes and surgeries. The one on my chest is my largest scar. This scar is the one I am most uncomfortable with, it is big and if I wear a lower cut shirt you can see it, this does not make it easy for a fourteen almost fifteen year old girl whos in highschool, to pick out clothes. People always ask me what happened (if i got burned, or if i got cut, etc.) Depending on my mood, depends if I tell them or not. Its not that im not proud of my cancer and being a survivor, its just it takes long to explain. If I don't feel like explaining i just say I fell off my bike. If I do explain to people what happened they usually end up crying or are on the verge of tears:). When I look at my scars i feel honored to have these scars on me. I mean how many people get asked about their scars and can tell people that they survived cancer? :)
