Most Leukemia’s aren’t deadly infact it’s cure rate is quite high.Osteosarcoma is a deadly bone cancer common in teenagers.

Try Books and Authors. Most people here are too busy trying to stay alive to take time off to help with your story.

Leukemia. I had a friend whose child had it and it took over a year before it was diagnosed. By that time she was too far along to do anything about it.
And I suggest you report "thinking"’s post as non responsive. "Top Contributor"? Of what. Nonsense.

probably neuroblastoma, but this type of cancer is extremely rare in 15-17 year olds unless they have been fighting it from the time they were 2 or 3. A few of the tougher cancers to treat are Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor AT/RT a CNS/brain tumor (also very rare in teens), and almost any cancer in stage IV. Good luck with your story. Hope this helps:)

Mesothelioma! Mesothelioma is a very rare cancer caused almost all of the reasons for this disease due to exposure to asbestos.
Children should keep away from asbestos because it can cause mesothelioma cancer.
