A research from a world-renowned cancer treatment and research center in Boston has presented that a childhood cancer survivor may feel way older than they actually are. Dr. Lisa Diller led the research at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in which they dwelled into copious amounts of childhood cancer survivors' records within an age bracket between 18 to 29-year-old.
Diller and her colleagues found out that childhood cancer survivors who did not present a recurring illness have the same quality life score as the general population whereas survivors who are struggling with a recurring illness managed to have a low life score equivalent to the population with a recurring illness, according to Health Day.
