No young adult is ever prepared to hear the words “You have cancer.” Cancer at this pivotal point in life causes unimaginable disruptions in education, career, and relationships as young adults are attempting to establish independence and their own identity.
Based on current research and the author’s clinical expertise as well as interviews with 16 young adults experiencing a range of cancer diagnoses and 2 parents of young adults with cancer, This Should Not Be Happening: Young Adults With Cancer confronts the challenges of cancer head-on with frank, pragmatic advice and inspiration on issues unique to young adults dealing with life-changing illness.
Chapters focus on issues related to treatment, emotional effects of living with cancer, survivorship and fear of recurrence, fertility issues, dating and sexuality, dealing with family and friends, returning to work or school, being your own best advocate, and participation in research studies. Anecdotes from young adults who’ve faced a cancer diagnosis provide both humorous and heart-wrenching perspectives.
