Young people with cancer?


Are there any other people between the ages of 20 and 35 on here who have dealt with cancer? I have noticed that there are of course places that deal specifically with children with cancer, and of course older people who get cancer. But it seems there are no programs in place for those of us who battle cancer as young adults; it's as if we aren't supposed to be sick.

I've been battling cancer since I was 21. I'm 29 now. I'm a pro. :)

When I was being treated, I didn't see any young adults, just us old foggies (35+). I just did a search and found this site, you may want to investigate

you are right. my mom has cancer. i take her to the cancer clinic evertime she has an appt.. and im seeing young people come in every day. in general i think there is help for anyone with cancer. but groups for the young adults ive not seen, and im sorry about that for you. you could develop one on your own, or talk with the social workers at your clinic. im sorry you have cancer, or someone you know does. im here if you need to talk.

First of all I am sorry to hear about your cancer and I hope you get better soon :)
You should check with your hospital for programs for people your age. I assume your looking for support??
Check the community also and forums across the web. If nothing be individual and start your own.
Once again I hope you get better and i'm sorry I can't be of more help.
