We know that starting the conversation about germ cell cancer with your teenager can be difficult, so we have made some top tips to help you highlight the importance of knowing the signs and symptoms and speaking up about anything that might be concerning ❤️ To access our resources visit our website (link in bio) 👉 #therobincancertrust #ovariancancer #testicularcancer #cancercharity #cancersymptoms #cancerawareness #blogwriting #youngadultcancer #cancerunder30 #cancersucks #rct #canceruk #teenageandyoungadultcancerawarenessmonth
This #TeenageAndYoungAdultCancerAwarenessMonth is all about empowering young people around healthcare. We'd love to take this opportunity to encourage you to listen to the podcast produced by Domes FM in collaboration with CCC’s Teenage and Young Adult Service and @fact_liverpool, made possible through kind donations to @clatterbridgecancercharity. This podcast served as an opportunity for Alex, Mel, and Luke - three young people who are currently being treated for cancer or who recently completed cancer treatment - to immerse themselves in artistic and creative practices while also sharing personal stories and exchanging experiences. As they experimented with DJing, Ableton, sound and field recording, and interview techniques, Alex, Mel and Luke steered conversations on their own terms and discussed topics that were important to them.

“When you’re young, your life is still ahead of you. When I was diagnosed, I thought, am I actually going to live long enough to graduate? Am I ever going to be able to be in a relationship? Are my friends going to treat me the same?” When Ellie was diagnosed with sarcoma in 2019 she was having scans every three months, surgeries twice a year and chemotherapy. It had a huge impact on her life, especially her university degree. That’s why she made the decision to have her hand amputated. “I finally managed to persuade them to just cut it off. A week later, I was back at university. I was bored at home, so I thought I might as well go back.” Ellie felt empowered to take control of her health and get back to doing what she loved like seeing her friends and going to uni. Throughout her experience, Ellie has been supported by Young Lives vs Cancer, Teenage Cancer Trust and Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust who work in partnership to help young people facing cancer. Her Young Lives vs Cancer Social Worker supported Ellie when applying for jobs and benefits to make sure she got the support she needed. Her Teenage Cancer Trust nurses would accompany Ellie on appointments and she has been taken part in various activities with the charity too. Ellie has also taken part in two Ellen MacArthur sailing adventures where she met someone who has the same diagnosis as her - her ‘tumour twin’. Young Lives vs Cancer, Teenage Cancer Trust and Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust are sharing young people’s stories this Teenage and Young Adult Cancer Awareness Month to raise awareness of the unique challenges young people with cancer face. All three charities are there to make sure no young person feels alone and get the right support at the right time. @teenage_cancer @emctrust #TYACAM #TeenageAndYoungAdultCancerAwarenessMonth

April is Teenage and Young Adults Cancer Awareness Month. When it comes to cancer in young people and young adults, a few types stand out as more common than others. The three most common types of cancer in young people/adults are; 👉 Skin Cancer 👉 Thyroid Cancer 👉 Testicular Cancer Being aware of these common cancers and their symptoms can help young people recognise potential warning signs early on. Regular self-exams, routine check-ups, and maintaining open communication with healthcare providers are vital for early detection and successful treatment. Remember, if you notice any concerning symptoms, don't hesitate to contact your GP. #cancersmart #yorkshirecancercommunity #teenageandyoungadultcancerawarenessmonth #cancersupportyorkshire #knowyournormal
“Her unwavering support and presence have been my anchor during some of the toughest moments.” When Mphango was diagnosed with cancer at 24, she had to stop work but faced a lot of costs like getting to hospital for treatment. Her Young Lives vs Cancer Social Worker supported her both with the financial and emotional impact of facing cancer as a young person. Mphango remembers: “They helped with travel costs and directed me to grants, which helped me get clothes for the hospital. I needed to buy clothes that made me feel more comfortable while in hospital.” As well as grants, Mphango’s social care team also helped her apply for benefits and other financial support. “Instead of having to sit down and go through a lengthy application I had the option of help from them which took a big burden from me - I had chemo brain and there were loads of things to sort out at the beginning of treatment so when that was taken away from me, it was extremely helpful," Mphango said. Mphango says Hannah has been there for both the good and bad, helping both in and out of hospital. “Hannah has been there through it all, helping me emotionally and guiding me through the maze of struggles post-hospital stays. From navigating the uncertainties to celebrating the victories, Hannah's dedication and genuine care shine brightly.” Young people with cancer can feel like a lot is taken from them: their voices, their routine, their independence. Our social workers are there to make sure teenagers and young adults feel empowered throughout their treatment and beyond. This Teenage and Young Adult Cancer Awareness Month (TYACAM) join us to listen and amplify their voices. #TYACAM #TeenageAndYoungAdultCancerAwarenessMonth Visual description: Hannah and Mphango are stood both smiling at the camera.

Each year in the UK, around 88 young people will be told they have primary bone cancer. These patients should not be afraid to ask questions, seek knowledge, access support, and advocate for themselves and their wellbeing. That's why, this April, we are committed to empowering young patients around healthcare. While bone cancer is relatively rare compared to other types of cancer, it can still affect individuals of any age, including children and adolescents. One of the primary types of bone cancer found in young people is osteosarcoma. This type of cancer usually develops in the bones around the knee, but it can also occur in other bones, like the upper arm or thigh. Recognising the symptoms of bone cancer early is crucial for prompt treatment. Young people might experience persistent bone pain, swelling or a lump near the affected area, and sometimes even fractures without significant injury. If you or someone you know notices these symptoms, it's essential to consult your GP. Early detection can lead to more effective treatment and better outcomes. #yorkshirecancercommunity #cancersmart #bonecancerawareness #teenageandyoungadultcancerawarenessmonth #cancersupportyorkshire #knowyournormal

“Young Lives vs Cancer has supported me in so many ways, so when the opportunity arose to volunteer in the form of the Voice Board, I felt compelled to apply. “ Emma was supported by Young Lives vs Cancer after being diagnosed with cancer in her early 20s. Now, in her role on the Young Lives vs Cancer Voice Board, she is able to use her experiences to help make sure other young people get the support they need. “I frequently discuss the difficulties of having cancer as an adult in your early 20s and how often, we feel too old for teenage and young adult services but too young for adult services…I feel like my voice is truly valued and it is great to work with a charity who are so invested in identifying innovative ways to support young people and their families.” We know children, young people and parents with lived experience of cancer are the best people to guide and shape the work that we do. Your voices allow us to ensure that everything we do as a charity – from the way we speak about cancer, to the shaping of our strategy – is informed by the lived experience of those we support. Visit the link in our bio to read Emma’s blog about her year on the Voice Board and to find out how you can get involved in sharing your voice by joining our new Voice Hub. #TeenageAndYoungAdultCancerAwarenessMonth #tyacam Visual description: Emma is sat down at a table outside, she is wearing a white top with blue flowers on it and a blue denim bucket hat.

Then...and now! Sophie was 11 when she was diagnosed with leukaemia, and relapsed at 13. She talks about going through treatment as a teenager this Teenage and Young Adult Cancer Awareness Month. “As a teenage girl I missed the crucial years of finding who you are, I missed experiencing normal teenage life. This affected me for a long time. “Cancer affected my mental health without me realising. Looking back, I was so anxious about going on the school bus because of my wig so my mum took me to school and picked me up every day. “I couldn’t have takeaways whilst on treatment or a pick a mix, with not knowing whose hands had been in what or if something wasn’t cooked right. I wasn’t allowed to visit anywhere busy with my immune system so low. I couldn’t go near any crowds, see anybody who had a slight sniffle. “I didn’t want to go anywhere without my mum. She was like a comfort blanket. Every time I felt unwell or not myself, an anxiety of ‘its back’ would rush over me. I’d over think it, I’d want bloods done, I’d be so upset because my mind was on over drive. To this day I think I’m over cautious with things other people aren’t but I don’t think that will ever stop.” After she relapsed, Sophie received a bone marrow transplant from her sister. Today is National Siblings Day and so we wanted to share some pictures of Sophie and her sister when she was diagnosed, and today all glammed up celebrating her ‘transplant birthday’. Supported throughout her journey by Young Lives vs Cancer, after finishing treatment, Sophie was able to go back to school. She is now a private nanny caring for three boys and loves walking, reading, yoga, music and podcasts as well as holidays with her mum, partner and friends. “My outlook on life now is to cherish everything and everyone around me. I look at my experience as a huge life lesson." #cancer #teenageandyoungadultcancerawarenessmonth #tyacam #nationalsiblingsday Visual description: [Image 1] Sophie and sister are smiling at the camera with a chocolate cake in front of them.

Swipe for the good news 🥳🥳🥳 I received both letters last week and it’s a lot to deal with when you’re waiting on results for two big scans at the same time. I also had no idea that the last CT scan I had for the cancer monitoring was my final surveillance scan. I am delighted that I’ve now been discharged (with one colonoscopy to go next year 🤞🏼) but also a bit terrified that the surveillance safety net is no longer there. It’s #bowelcancerawarenessmonth and #teenageandyoungadultcancerawarenessmonth and the #onething I want to remind everyone of is: if you have any symptoms of bowel cancer (or any cancer) please get it checked. You’re not too young and you’re not being overdramatic. I’m living proof that early diagnosis saves lives and that you can go on and live a full and happy life after cancer. Also absolutely delighted that my MRI for my MS shows no new evidence of any new disease activity for the third year running. When you have MS that is the best news you can hope for and it’s such a huge relief given I’m not on a DMT due to the potential cancer risks. #bowelcancer #rectalcancer #AYAcancer #teenageandyoungadultcancer #colorectalcancer #stoma #ileostomy #colostomy #multiplesclerosis #MS #MSandcancer #CancerandMS #scanxiety #TYACAM
“I asked a lot of questions...Is my vision going? Am I going to be able to complete my university studies? Is this going to affect me going to work?” Farid should have been off on his first holiday with his friends. Instead, he had just been told ‘you have a cancerous tumour’ over the phone. Sat at his family dining room table, Farid had hundreds of questions flying around. From that moment on, Farid’s university studies, career and social life were put on hold to make way for hospital visits, radiotherapy treatment and conversations with doctors. “Your life is pretty much on hold – no matter how determined you are, you don’t have the energy to do 95% of what you did before. I couldn’t do things that I'd usually do.” His Young Lives vs Cancer Social Worker Mel supported him throughout treatment by contacting his uni and by providing him with grants. “Mel was the one who contacted my uni. I had no-one who was helping to do that before and I was struggling to do it myself. Mel was fantastic and I will never forget the help she gave me throughout my treatment.” Now, Farid has finished treatment and is back to building his career, something he was determined to get back to doing. Mel got to know Farid, to understand what support he needed and when. That’s what Young Lives vs Cancer Social Workers do, they understand what young people are going through and are there to provide the support they need, when they need it to help them feel empowered, to help them feel like them again. #TeenageAndYoungAdultCancerAwarenessMonth #TYACAM Visual description: Farid is lying in a hospital bed, he is looking at the camera. He has a breathing tube in his nose and a big bandage over one of his eyes.

“He’d spend the week trying to live a normal 22-year-old’s life and then he’d go back to chemo.” Caroline is sharing her son Bradley’s story to raise awareness of bowel cancer in young people both for Bowel Cancer Awareness Month and Teenage and Young adult Cancer Awareness Month. But most importantly, today would have been Bradley’s 27th birthday. Bradley had just finished uni, started a new job in London, was working at the pub on the weekends and loved playing football with his friends. Sadly at just 21, he was given the news he had stage four bowel cancer. He was later told his cancer was incurable and he would be moved to pain management at home. “He wouldn’t entertain it, he wouldn’t accept it. The only time he accepted it, was on Thursday 18th February, that morning. He just looked at me and said to me ‘mum I can’t do this anymore’.” Throughout treatment, Bradley wanted to continue on as ‘normal’ as possible – he still played football with his friends, went to the pub and even bought tickets to the Speedway which he loved. His Young Lives vs Cancer Social Worker helped him access grants so he could continue seeing friends and have his own money. “They gave him independence and dignity by getting him money so he had some money to buy me a Mother’s Day present, so he had money to go out for a drink with his friends – he didn’t have to keep asking me to top him up with money along with everything else.” #BowelCancerAwarenessMonth #TeenageAndYoungAdultCancerAwarenessMonth Visual description: Bradley is sat in a chair at the hospital, he is hooked to an IV having treatment. He is smiling at the camera and holding his arm up as if showing his muscles.
Hi my name is Amy - this #TeenageAndYoungAdultCancerAwarenessMonth I'm joining young people with cancer across the UK to share my story and talk about what it's really like to face cancer when you're young... “I remember asking ‘am I going to be ok?’” Amy had just moved down to London, moved in with her boyfriend and started a new job as a dance teacher. Life was going well. Then, a few weeks later, she was told ‘you have cancer’. The new life she had started to build came crumbling down. One day she was exploring the big wide city to hardly leaving her hospital bed. Dance classes, meals out and meeting friends, became IV drips, chemo side effects and feeling isolated. “It’s been so frustrating because this came at a time when everything felt like it was going in the right direction.... I guess everything was just going a bit too smoothly.” Being self-employed, Amy was limited to how much financial support she could claim. She had to say goodbye to her boyfriend and new flat to move back in with her parents. The travel to and from home to hospital was exhausting but also cost her and her family hundreds. That’s where Mel, her Young Lives vs Cancer Social Worker, stepped in. Mel was able to help Amy and her family apply for financial support, she also provided her with grants and shopping vouchers to help throughout treatment. This helped Amy feel empowered and gave her back some of the independence she was missing. “We were struggling with the financial side of things, and she’s been so helpful.” Young Lives vs Cancer Social Workers are there to help young people with cancer, like Amy, get the right support at the right time. They understand what young people are really going through and make sure they feel seen.

As #TeenageAndYoungAdultCancerAwarenessMonth draws to a close, we caught up with Libby - who you might recognise from our social media takeover back in August! Libby was treated for Hodgkin's Lymphoma at our Teenage and Young Adult Unit at CCC-L and spoke with us about her time there and what she's been getting up to since finishing treatment last October.
Young people who have to wait longer to be diagnosed with cancer are more likely to be clinically anxious, depressed and experience a lower quality of life after their diagnosis. Last year, we helped to fund a study looking into 13 to 24-year-olds diagnosed with cancer. Finding nearly 60% waited three months or more from noticing their first symptom to starting treatment. We’re focusing our research into new projects to make sure young people get the specialist attention and treatments they need. But to move forward, acknowledging the need for mental health support is integral. Tap the link in our bio to read more 🔗 #TYACAM #CRUKYoungPeople #TeenageandYoungAdultCancerAwarenessMonth

“I was diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma when I was 18, but the bone cancer was found in my kidney.” This is Ellie’s story 👇 #CRUKYoungPeople “After completing my A Levels in 2021, I went on holiday with my friends and felt sick all week. When I got home, I was diagnosed with a major kidney infection. But after further tests, the doctors found a 13cm tumour in my kidney. Ewing sarcoma is a bone cancer that can rarely occur in soft tissue and it was found in my kidney. I had chemotherapy and proton beam therapy in 2021, then last year, I had my kidney removed a week before my 19th birthday. I’m still suffering with the long term effects of chemo, but there’s no evidence of the cancer left in my body, so I’ve returned to university.” #TeenageAndYoungAdultCancerAwarenessMonth #TYACAM
April is Teenage and Young Adult Cancer Awareness Month 💜🙌 This April, Teenage Cancer Trust has teamed up with other charities supporting young people with cancer across the UK for the first Teenage and Young Adult Cancer Awareness Month. We have two Teenage Cancer Trust units at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust which are specially designed for young people facing cancer to feel at home whilst getting the best care from our dedicated nurses and youth support teams. To mark Teenage and Young Adult Cancer Awareness Month, we will be sharing stories from our team working at our units to find out what they do to support young people living with cancer. Firstly we heard from Tricia Wyer who has worked at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for 22 years. Tricia currently works at our Teenage Cancer Unit as a Teenage & Young Adult & Late Effects Multidisciplinary Team coordinator. She said: “My role is to coordinate the weekly disciplinary team meetings and ensure new patients are discussed and the right support is put in place for them. I also support the Teenage and Young Adult Team and Late Effects Team administratively and ensure that the service is in line with the Teenage and Young Adult measures. My role is very diverse and this is what keeps it so interesting. Although deadlines can be challenging, I find it very rewarding and feel like my part in the patients journey really makes a difference.” #TYACAM #teenageandyoungadultcancerawarenessmonth

Our teenage and young adulthood years are the years to explore, push boundaries, figure out who you are, what you like and who you want to be. It’s the time we follow our pathways into education and work; forming new friendships and relationships. They’re not easy years for many people who struggle with their identity or their image and so much more. Introduce cancer into the mix, and that brings so many more challenges. Every single aspect of your life is affected. Teenagers and young adults need emotional and mental support, readily available, and unfortunately, it’s a bit of a postcode lottery of facilities and what support is available. April is Teenage and Young Adult Cancer Awareness Month. You can show your support by sharing any posts from any charities supporting young people or by donating to any charities who do their very best for our teens ❤️ @teenage_cancer . . #harrisonkicksleukaemia #cancer #mentalhealth #teenageandyoungadultcancer #awareness #support #son #love #identity #image #royalalberthall #teenagecancer #teenagecancergigs #teenageandyoungadultcancerawarenessmonth
