When I was diagnosed with cancer at 15, people often told me they were praying for me.  At the time I was agnostic, but as the situation began to get more stressful, I finally started praying.  I beat it around five months later, while still 15.  I was diagnosed again with the same kind of cancer a month after turning 17 and was able to cope with it a lot better after finding Jesus.  I’m still battling it, and turn 18 soon.  I have a lot of faith now, and am not nearly as scared as I was when I was 15.
