Hi @darshsingh1! Happy New Year! And what a year it’s been, huh? I just love getting encouraging replies like yours, that show cancer treatments can work and life can go on. By sharing what you’ve been through, endured and overcome, you have the opportunity to spread hope for other younger members.
What wonderful news to start your new year…being in remission from Hodgkin’s lymphoma. I’ve been so impressed with your exemplary attitude and tenacity to be able to continue university studies for your law degree while undergoing your treatments. That’s no easy feat! So congratulations to you and I wish you continued good health and a successful career in law!
I’m not sure what zoom meetings you’re referring to. There are cancer organizations such as the Blood Cancer United and other entities which offer podcasts and possibly some zoom meetings to connect with others. Mayo Clinic offers a AYA (adolescent and young adults from 18-39) monthly meeting (alternating online - I know you don’t live in the US)

However at this time I don’t see anything listed for upcoming sessions. Do you recall anymore information about the zoom meetings?
