Dear tam9912,

I'm sorry no one has responded to your post. The ANA can connect you with peer mentors who had radiation at a younger age, as well as young adult resources, including a support group and closed Facebook group.  There is a presentation, Radiation in Young Adults with AN, available on the ANA website which may be helpful for you.  Please reach out to Melanie for more information at melanie@anausa.org.

Tam,

I am not young as my wife and children like to tell me.  I will tell you I had a great experience with CK. If you want to learn more about my journey please let me know.  I found this group awesome.  they helped me early in my journey and I have committed to paying forward. Let me know if you have questions.


Good luck on your journey,
Dan
