This is a series of diary entries, articles and thoughts by a friend of mine who is a patient at The Royal Marsden Hospital in London.

Joshua was born in Croydon, London, and grew up just like everyone else, but when he was 15 he was diagnosed as having blood cancer, or leukemia. Since then his life has been one long round of hospital visits and treatment. Joshua is still fighting to get well and these are some notes from the frontline of that war. He - and me - would love you to read them and get back to us about what you think.
  
Yes, the subject is brutal, but Josh writes about his experiences in a raw, honest way that will move you and even make you laugh.
  
These snippets are not written in any particular order. One day, when Josh is better and he has a chance to get things organised, he might think about publishing them - until that time, you'll read them as he sends them out into the world.

Billionaire Next Door✔ by hannahosell

I shrunk back into my seat as his head snapped towards me. He looked like his head was going to fall off. His eyes were blazing with rage. His face was set into an icy glare. His fists that rested on the table were clenched so hard his knuckles were white. As he stood from his chair so did I. I felt like the prey to the biggest predator in the jungle. I took two steps back for every stride he took towards me. I gulped again before shaking me head. "She's just joking Ace." my voice quivered as I took another two steps back. "How do I know that?" he sneered down at me, his body towering over me. As I went to take another step backwards, my back made contact with the wall behind me. Well great. Now I'm cornered. This is just typical. ............................................................. One girl moves to the big apple after her family disintegrates around her. All she has left is her one brother. Well, that's what she thought. She attends college like a normal girl and even gains a job on the side with someone who just so happens to be her neighbor.

An Unpredictable Life by ElaineWhite

** Winner of The Watty's 2014: Collector's Dream Award ** ** This is a true story. Now FULLY edited ** I was diagnosed with Cancer a week before my 16th Birthday. I had Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and had to undergo Chemotherapy and a Stem Cell transplant, back in 2003. My whole life changed. I wrote this book when I was 17, when all my treatment was over, to catalogue everything I had learned and experienced. I had no information about Cancer during my treatment; it was all aimed at adults and I was a teenager who didn't understand most of what happened. So I wrote this book. I was a teenager when I wrote, when I had Cancer and I wanted this to be an information, honest account of what it was really like to have Cancer and go through the treatment....from a teenager's perspective. It's sometimes funny, sometimes sad, always honest. There may be parts that you squint at, because you're embarrassed to read them...well, I was embarrassed writing them. But that's the whole point of honesty. To get it out in the open. To be real. And that's what this is.

For The Next Thirty Seconds ✓ by coffeeinastorm

**editing ((: "How many sets of thirty seconds are in a day?" "My rough estimate?" "Sure." "About three thousand." "Oh." "Yeah." • 19 year-old Jack's life has been one traumatic event after the next. So, being diagnosed with small cell lung cancer was just icing on the cake. With a survival rate of 14 percent and a life expectancy of 4 months, Jack does all he knows how to do: he runs. 18 year-old Lane's life has just been turned upside down. After finding out her sister's engaged to her childhood best friend, she doesn't think it could get any worse... until she finds out her happily-married parents of 24 years are getting a divorce. She can't stand even being in the same room as one of her family members, so she does something she's never done before: she runs. The Big Apple has never seemed so small. At least, not to Jack and Lane, not when they were next to each other. Nothing seemed too big. Side by side, they could conquer the world. They could fly. But, if the world decides to fight back, whose to say they won't fall, instead? 𝘖𝘯𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘵 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴.

The Flynn Effect by -olliee

Except when it comes to him, things aren't always simple. *** Jo and Flynn couldn't be any more different than they already are. She's an uptight, type 1 diabetic and captain of the debate club and he's a notorious womanizer with a devil-may-care attitude and seemingly nothing to worry about. But now he needs help with English and she needs money for college. So regardless of the existent feud between them, she accepts to be his tutor in her school's online peer-tutorship program. But things aren't that straightforward when it comes to him. A misconception and desperation later, they decide to become a fake unlikely couple, solely because Flynn needs to make his crush jealous and Jo needs her ex to understand that it's over. Besides, she's partly in love with the hot, gentlemanly school paper president and the only way he'll notice her, is if she somehow becomes popular. Everything will be fine as long as they follow the rules. But then again, rules are meant to be broken.

Cancer by ILive4Snaddy

Louisa isn't like the others. She does not have friends to take home after school. She doesn't even go to school. After her condition got this worse, she was told not to go to school anymore. She started pushing her friends away as well, in the thoughts of "protecting" them from getting hurt. After she finds out life is short, she starts living for her fullest, almost forgetting the fact she is dying. "Today, I realized, I am still alive. Like, for real. I do have cancer and I may be dying, but aren't we all?" - Louisa Way (quoted from the novel) This is a story about living your life, while it's there, love, family, friendship and moving on. I hope you enjoy! ^^

Stuck with the schools Bad Boy by silvana_m

As a result of the tragic death of her father; Heaven Foster's life has mouldered into a exasperating cycle of moving from one home to another. Consequently, not staying in a house for more than a year means having to move schools more times than a typical seventeen year old girl should. Heaven is used to blending in with the crowd, so that she can be unnoticed by people, but being unnoticed while you're the new student of Lakeswood high school is not that easy. Let's just say that stumbling across a certain group of bad boys enumerates to the trouble, including crashing- literally into the most feared one of them all. Dominant. Menacing. Mysterious. Unpredictable. Cold. Blake Martinez. ******************************************************** MUST READ Just now I have come onto this app again to check it out, and I am overwhelmed with all your kind messages and wishes for me to update! I began writing this book when I was very young and only a couple years later, I had stumbled across this app again and decided to look at what I created. In my spare time, i decided to edit as much as I could and began to write new chapters. Writing was a little hobby of mine, something that I didn't take seriously as I only wrote for fun. I definitely didn't think that my book would get this many readers!! Thank you to all of you who genuinely took time to read my book. I deeply apologise for keeping you all waiting, and left wondering if I was going ahead with this story or not. Sadly, to all of my readers who was looking forward to reading more of my story. I am sorry to say that I will not be working on this book anymore. Perhaps in the later future Heaven and Blake will make an epic return! However, as of now, their love story remains how it is. Thank you!

the way it ends by did_I_just_say_that

Noah Albert Clark was born to die. At least, that's how he sees it. Diagnosed with leukaemia at fourteen, he has since then been preparing for his own demise for years. It's really the only thing that he is not afraid of. Only, something has gone terribly wrong for Noah. He's gone into remission. And as a result, is forced into spending time with a girl, as well as her canine accomplice, whom he has never met, and is said to be just as screwed up as he is. Noah has never had any friends, and has never really thought he needed any, seeing as his death was so inevitable. However, the tables are turned, and it seems that now life is the hauntingly inevitable. Without cancer, who is Noah Clark? All he has ever been is a ticking time bomb, so now that he's stable, he has no idea what to do with his life. Live? He doesn't know how. Perhaps he just has to learn. TRIGGER WARNING: extreme suicidal ideation, eating disorders, death, mentions of abuse, violence.
