Support for young adults with cancer
Keywords:We offer tailored psychosocial and rehabilitation support and guidance for adolescents and young adults with cancer. We are here to support you at the start of your treatments and during them. We will help you find the necessary support services also at the end of your treatment and during the cancer treatment follow-up and monitoring period.
Getting cancer at a young age is very rare. You may be wondering what a cancer diagnosis means in different areas of your everyday life: what kind of impact the disease and treatments have on your body and mental wellbeing, close relationships, finances and studies, or working life.
In addition to medical treatment for cancer, we offer psychosocial support, counseling and guidance that takes into account a young person’s age and special needs. The Comprehensive Cancer Center employs a service instructor for young adults who is also an expert in psychosocial support and rehabilitation. Service guidance is part of the care and rehabilitation support package for young adults.
