So most of my life has been lived in a bubble so to speak.
In and out of the hospital so much I didn't know where I lived, in fact I think I spent more time in the hospital bed than my own.
The chemotherapy was horrible, I felt like I was empty, a walking zombie
I was always so weak in fact until I was 15 my father would carry me most places
The a miracle, the cancer was gone, and I was able to go on with my life
No more treatments, no more being sick..
But my whole life had passed by, and I had no idea who I was, or where I wanted to go.
I've never had anything a 'normal' guy my age has, and my first urge is to go out and experience life
But everyone still treats me like I will break
I don't know how to break free of the curse, all I can hope is someday life will be normal
Though I don't know if it's possible

What do normal guys have? You don't miss on many things. You have a wonderful heart and you're very clever and young. You have your whole life ahead of you! So be proud of that! =) You're handsome & you have a generosity that many will be jealous of... :) Love you boy! CIaoOo! xOXo!♥ •Guss•

I think the important thing is to step back, take a look at your life. As I am sure you have done many times and decide what you think is going to be the best way to do this. I've had alot of illness in my life as well, although nothing like you have so I'm not going to pretend to say I can relate to you on this.
With that in mind, part of living life to the fullest is involving the ones you love in some (not all) of the things you do. If they are worried about you, invite them along to expeirence new things for your entire family. This should help them build confidence in you, and show them that you are recovering and although I am sure you have your bad days they are becomming fewer and fewer every day that goes by. Eventually once they can see you as able bodied, remeber they have wittness you for most of your life relying on them in ways that not many children have ever had to, it has become a second instinct for them.
Slowly start to do things on your own, expanding slowly at first but then once you get a feel for what you need, and how you want to get it start to move at your own pace.
Right now, its about all I can suggest for you to help make the transition back to normal life easy for you and your family
