A Practical Guide for Loved Ones to Support Young Adults Fighting Cancer
The Book
In A Cancer Warrior's Perspective, I provide answers to this question drawn directly from my own experience as a young adult cancer patient. I provide useful tips, actionable suggestions, and helpful insights for supporters at the end of each chapter.
If you're a significant other, friend, relative, colleague, neighbor, running mate, climbing partner, or any other supporter of someone with cancer, this book is for you.
Being diagnosed with glioblastoma (GBM) at 29 years old meant navigating a disease that most resources don't account for in young adults. Career decisions, relationships, body image, financial planning — the challenges are different when you're young, and so is the kind of support that actually helps.
Each chapter draws on real situations I faced and the responses — helpful and unhelpful — that shaped my experience. Written with honesty, warmth, and a healthy dose of humor, this guide will help you show up for the person you love in a way that truly matters.
