Our teenage and young adult years are a unique and defining time in so many ways.
When cancer puts this under threat, Teenage Cancer Trust is there to help young people through it with their expert nurses and youth workers, and dedicated hospital units.
But before Teenage Cancer Trust, there was no such thing as specialist cancer care for this age group. If you got cancer aged 13-24, you’d either be treated alongside younger children or much older adults.
Cancer care wasn’t made for young people – and they knew this wasn’t right. That’s why Teenage Cancer Trust kicked off in 1990, and why they’re still here now.
