Cancer180
When cancer strikes, life does a 180. For young adults, it can seem like the loneliest time of life. Cancer180 lets them know they are not alone in the fight by providing a social environment where young adult patients, survivors, caregivers, family and friends in their 20s and 30s can connect with other young adults affected by cancer. Support is offered through virtual, social and educational activities, as well as online resources.
Events are free and open to all young adult (ages 18 to 39) survivors and their caregivers. Please email cancer180@mdanderson.org to receive activity emails.
Follow Cancer180 on Facebook to stay up-to-date on events and resources.
