Please join us for this special episode live from CancerCon®, a young adult cancer conference presented by Stupid Cancer®.

A diagnosis of cancer can present many challenges when it comes to relationships with others and the relationship you have with yourself. In this episode, we speak with experts about rediscovering yourself after cancer, exploring mental health treatment, and cancer “ghosting”.

Be sure to tune into our prior LIVE! At CancerCon episode, where we interviewed young adult patients and survivors to hear their thoughts on transitioning from their oncologist to a primary care provider.
