Description
Connecting Young Adults with Cancer meetup is a peer group for young adults that have been diagnosed with cancer as a teen or young adult. Our fantastic group comprises current and post treatment patients who look to connect with others who have faced similar battles. Talking with someone other than a parent, doctor, or friend that gets it, is crucial. Come hang out!
