My name is Nicolas Mendez and I have cancer. This web site is for my family, for my friends, and for me and for all those that want to know about my life and what it is like for an 8 year old that has cancer. It is good for me to know about cancer and my body because the more I know about my cancer and my treatments, the less scary my life is. I hope that if people read about me and my life that their lives might be easier too. My dad is helping me write and when he asked me why I thought this web site was important I told him I thought, “it would be cool to be famous!”
I have a really big family that loves me a lot. My family is a big part of my life and this web site is for them. I hope that they can look at my web site whenever they want and know how I am doing. I have family all over the world including Argentina and this way we can stay in touch.
I have a lot of friends that care a lot about me. I want my friends to know how I am doing and to learn about cancer. I get a lot of nice cards and cool stuff from my friends and my web site is a good way for me to say thank you.
There are a whole bunch of people that take care of me and my web site is a good way to thank them and to tell you about their jobs and how much they help people that have cancer.
