We’re excited to be sharing this new study on the Social Genomic Mechanisms of Health Disparities among AYA Survivors of Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, out of the University of Michigan, which is researching why and how different factors like social stress, conflict, and isolation can impact cancer diagnoses and outcomes for AYAs. Please share this message with anyone with cancer experience as a teen or young adult Lymphoma Survivor.

It’s World Mental Health Day, and for adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer patients and survivors, mental health isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. ?? Dealing with cancer is difficult at any time of your life, but when you’re an AYA (15 - 39 years old), it just hits different, leaving many AYAs feeling isolated, anxious, or overwhelmed. The uncertainty of treatment, the impact on relationships, and the challenges of navigating work or school can take a huge toll on mental well-being. That’s why mental health is at the heart of everything we do at Stupid Cancer. Through our meetups, CancerCon, and digital resources, we create spaces where AYAs can connect with others who just get it—peers who know what it’s like to manage the emotional rollercoaster of cancer. Because here, you don’t have to go through it alone. ?? On this World Mental Health Day, let’s remember that healing is as much about the mind as it is the body. We’re committed to making sure that every AYA feels supported, heard, and empowered. Together, we can make cancer suck less. #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealthMatters #StupidCancer #AYACancer #GetBusyLiving #CancerSupport #YouAreNotAlone #EmotionalWellbeing #MentalHealthAwareness #CommunityHealing #BreakTheStigma
There are over 2.1 million AYAs living in the US today making up a significant portion of the cancer survivor population. The unique challenges they face in survivorship need to be addressed throughout every step of the cancer experience. Stupid Cancer can help!
