Hi Cuartasc, Yes I agree with you that 'Young people dealing with this kind of stuff is just weird'... I was 28 when diganosed with cancer and am now 7 years post diagnosis. Its been a long journey of trying to find where a young person like myself is supposed to fit in the cancer world that seems to be set up for either very young children or much older adults. This 7 year journey has taken me through a degree at uni to research the effects of cancer and young adults, where i completed a study last year and the Cancer Council came on board to support me.

You will see this Young Adult section grow over the next few months and I hope that you will find some great connections with others here and some info and much needed support also. As a fellow Young Adult with Cancer (YAC), I want to let you know you can chat anytime to me and others, in the hope that this may help your feel like you fit in the world of cancer with some like minded buddies Nikki 🙂 ...
