About Young Adult Cancer Canada

Young Adult Cancer Canada is focused on inspiring, informing and supporting young adults, ages 15-39, dealing with cancer. Young adults face unique issues due to their stage in life; matters relating to fertility, finances and relationships are very different in your 20’s than in your 60’s.

Young adults are caught in a gap and Young Adult Cancer Canada is working to close this gap by offering four national support programs aimed at young adults, including: The RealTime Cancer Community; Retreat Yourself (the only national cancer retreat designed specifically for this age); Survivor Conference (helping survivors use their experiences to help other survivors) and this program: Touch Yourself, Trust Yourself (a cancer education program for high school students).

Currently there are only eight young adult support groups in the entire country?
Survival rates for young adults have been stagnant since the 1970’s, meaning their chance of survival is the same as it was 30 years ago?
