Hey, my name is Steve and I'm 20. You should really listen to these people. I thought the same thing last November. I had many signs that I may of had Leukemia and my doctor wanted to to get a bone marrow test done. I wasn't sure if I wanted to. I mean, not only do those tests hurt, but I was wondering what I would do if I did have cancer. I can tell you right now, I was scared. I cried, and I cried a lot. I didn't know what to do.
I chose to get the test done, but even when it was being done I wasn't sure I wanted the answer. But at the end of the day, would you rather live in fear that you may have it? Or know for sure if you do or don't?
I found out I didn't have leukemia. I was the best feeling I've ever had to have the weight off my shoulders. But if it went the other way, and I did, Well, it would have been hard. But once you know, you can do something about it. And the sooner you know, the better.
It was probably the scarest moment of my life, but in the end, worth it.
