National Young Adult Cancer Awareness Week (NYACAW) April 4-10, 2010

This week is National Young Adult Cancer Awareness Week.  Every year there are 70,000 young adults that receive a diagnosis between the ages of 18 - 39.  We face unique challenges; mine are cognitive, career, fertility, long-term side effects of chemotherapy, and the particular nature of my cancer.  I'm not sure what exactly raising awareness does, but I've done my part and you are all now "aware" of young adult cancer.
