Did You Know Gaming? Forums

As much as I hate introductions... Hi!

Names Sean!
I've been playing vidya since I was about 2 and haven't stopped since.
I'm ultimately a PC elitist, though I do have an xbox and ps3... which get almost no use.

I'm 16 years old, and the biggest thing about me: I'm a cancer survivor.
February 27, 2013 I'll be 3 years in remission (No more chemotherapy!).

I had a bone cancer, Ewing's Sarcoma, which is a tumor that I had in my right leg, in my femur I believe. It's mostly common in boys ages 9-21 (I was 12 when I was diagnosed) and I had to suffer through a year and a half's worth of chemotherapy.

The 12th I'll officially be a month out of surgery. I had to have a prosthetic replaced, which acted as my knee and part of my femur and tibia.

I hope that explains a bit about me, and I'm VERY open about my Cancer if anyone has any questions feel free to ask!

Welcome to the forums bro!

And congrats on surviving!

S'up shawtay - welcome to the forums !

Glad to have another PC gamer onboard - we can shun the console peasants

Truth be told, I would like to play on my 360, but I'm currently half way around the world away from it

Damn, nice opener and welcome!
You have my respect good sir!

I do not think I could handle chemo at that age but I am happy to hear that others can and they kicked it's ass while doing so.

Even though I don't know you well, I'm happy you survived, it's always horrible to see someone die from something like Cancer, regardless of who they are.

Also welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forums!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone, it means a lot!! ^^

@Xannidel: Truth be told, I don't think I'd have made it if it wasn't for my family. My mom stayed with me practically 24/7 to make sure I was alright.

@Retrolink: Thank you. What you say is true, cancer itself is horrible... I've had to see many kids, infants even, hooked up to chemotherapy and you just die a little inside. :/
