Thank you to everyone that shared their story and gave advice, it helped me a lot. My husband starts his second round of chemo on Thursday , he handled it really well last time so fingers crossed this time. Our children are coping well also. It has been good to know that this site is here for support. We are making sure we stay positive and have lots of laughs.

Young Adults

Young Adults affected by cancer can face a range of challenges, including career & finances, body image, fertility & sexuality, and changes in personal relationships including family & friends.

Here you can access the latest Young Adult discussions and blogs and see what other Young Adults in similar situations have shared with the Cancer Connections community.

To share your thoughts, feelings and experiences with other Young Adults who understand where you're coming from, visit the Young Adults Discussion area.

If you are new to Cancer Connections, we also invite you to read, comment on other people's posts or share your own story and experiences in our general Introductions area, a place for people of all ages.
