I'm Too Young For This!

Ending isolation and improving quality of life for young adults affected by cancer through advocacy, research and support.

Positions:
  1. Over the past 30 years, cancer incidence in young adults has doubled while survival rates remain relatively unchanged. This is not ok.
  2. Young adults affected by cancer are have a right to not feel isolated and are entitled to be treated age-appropriately.
  3. Young adults are entitled to connect with others like them who 'get it'.
  4. Cancer needs a wake up call because remission is not a cure and survivorship is all that matters.
