Indeed financial issues are a side effect of cancer and the treatment. For young adults, this can be for decades.

Now more than ever, this financial toxicity tumor is needed!

Funding opportunity from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation!! Did you study racial or indigenous health inequalities and just lose federal research funds? This might be for you! Brief proposal due May 28. They're holding office hours. See link: www.evidenceforaction.org/funding/rapi...
"With many patients now surviving longer, prognosis needs to be seen as being currently in a fluid state and may need to be revisited ... it is important to continue to assess the physical and emotional needs of patients surviving with metastatic disease."

Stage IV surviving focus at ASCO 2025 👏!
❤️‍🩹 too many, too soon
Join us tomorrow as we honor all of the individuals our community would like to remember. The unfortunate reality of being part of the AYA cancer community is that we lose people we love to cancer.

"High-grade neuroendocrine tumor is a complex and aggressive condition that has seen few medical advances, in part because its rarity has subdued research investment"

Neuroendocrine tumors are a rare cancer, across all populations, including AYAs.

We 👏 ⬇️ . TY to those who participate! #AYACSM
Very important to #AYA dx with #cancer, sex and fertility. Both drastically negatively affected by cancer & tx.

If you aren't holding these discussions, what do you need to offer these conversations?

#oncology #oncsky #oncofertility #AYACSM
And opening up space to discuss these concerns will need some gentle effort from us healthcare professionals...
“With the growing incidence of cancer, particularly among young individuals, increased knowledge and awareness of the potential effects of cancer treatment on sexual health and reproductive potential among physicians and individuals is increasingly important” www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
Thank you Dr. Butensky for this important work. With GI cancers on the rise in #AYA, these barriers pointed out below are exponentially hard and life altering when diagnosed as a young adult.

#AYACSM
Dr. Samuel Butensky highlights the barriers patients with #GICancers face, including transportation issues, financial strains, and limited access to mental health support & medications. #SSO2025

THIS.
There are the side effects that happen during treatment and then there are the side effects that "just keep on giving" 😑
We need to #MakeCancerLessShitty by improving the access to supportive care during treatment AND post-treatment survivorship support. #SuppOnc #SurvOnc #CanSky #OncSky
I’m on a new steroid to hopefully reduce swelling in my chest. Most people wouldn’t expect cancer/chemo side effects to still be kicking my ass nearly six months later, but they are. #cansky
