The Wall Street Journal Health blog pointed to an interesting web site for an often overlooked demographic group of cancer survivors: young adults. Young adults with cancer often struggle to find a voice when much of cancer treatment and research seems to be split between two disparate groups: very young children and elderly patients.
The web site is: http://www.imtooyoungforthis.org and is presented in a multimedia format familiar to its intended audience. It offers patient perspectives and resources for patients to be advocates for themselves.
