AYA Health Professionals do you have AYAs in financial need? Of course you do. Tangible Help - $$$ - right ?? ?? ?? Thank you American Cancer Society and Family Reach! #AYACSM #FinTox #cancersideeffects
"Growing up with cancer, and now being a young adult with cancer, I'm hyper-aware of how expensive it is to simply exist," shared 21-year-old Camille. "I'm supposed to pay $30 or more for parking at the hospital every time….when I can't even hold a job due to long-term side effects." More than half of young adults with cancer face financial insecurity. Many of these patients are in the early stages of their careers and have little savings, leaving them especially vulnerable to the financial devastation caused by their diagnosis. Financial support is now available to help young adults like Camille afford food, housing, and transportation during treatment so they can focus on what matters most: their health.

#AYA cancer is mainstream news, this is not good. But thank you both American Cancer Society and Stupid Cancer for this important public awareness piece in both incidence, surviving, and what life is like for young adults after treatment. This is surviving cancer as a young adult "the new generation of cancer survivor — a person who is younger, less financially secure, and still having to navigate life after treatment, from dating to career, sex and child rearing." #AYACSM #Survivorship #lateandlongterm #survonc
With more than 2 million adolescent and young adult cancer survivors living in the US, and 90,000 more diagnosed every year, it’s critical we address the unique challenges AYAs face during this stage of development.
