I was diagnosed with leukemia (CML) in 1995 at age 13, blessed to have a perfect match bone marrow transplant the following year and have been in remission since. Last year i had a weird health situation (an infection on/in my back that turns out was linked to Valley Fever) and went to urgent care. The doc there said she used to work in pediatric oncology and mentioned that “these things” are common as survivors age. So I’m wondering—is it commonly accepted that weird health stuff will happen following successful treatment for pediatric cancer? All cancers? Another example: I had double cataract surgery at age 32. Should I just expect this random health stuff to keep happening? Curious to know others’ experiences.
