Both chemotherapy and radiation therapy can impact growth afaik.

nueroblastoma. had chemo and abdominal radiation. Does this stunt growth by damaging bones?

Sorry that you had to go through this, hopefully in the few next years you'll grow more.

I'm sad to read that.
I've read that chemotherapy can directly affect growth plates chondrocytes, and thus have a negative effect on final height/delay growth, it doesn't damage bones per se but can affect the cells responsible for making you grow basically.

It was a necessary sacrifice i guess, otherwise you wouldn't be here

true. I tried taking HGH (from doctor) put it didnt really work + i wasnt deficient so i think the damage was done to the tissue.

I feel bad for my dad because he found a way to marry a 5'9 women to save the bloodline (he's 5'7) and I ended up even shorter then him. I guess my genes should still be good atleast.
