The following is a blog post I wrote for Dana Farber’s blog, Insight, about the transition from pediatric to adult cancer care. Thank you to Dana Farber for letting me share my thoughts with others.
From Pediatric to Young Adult Patient: The Importance of Advocating for Yourself
This weekend I will be participating in The Jimmy Fund Walk as part of the Dana Farber Young Adult Program’s (YAP) team to raise funds to support young adults facing cancer. I have benefited immensely from YAP’s programs. If you are able, please help me reach my $300 goal to support fellow young adults like me.
