Although cancer is the leading cause of non-accidental death for young adults in the United States, 20- and 30-something cancer patients have had few resources that address their unique cancer-related concerns. Written by an author who was diagnosed with thyroid cancer at age 27, this book fills the gap with interviews and advice from Gen-X and Gen-Y cancer survivors, who cover everything from dating and fertility questions to health insurance and career challenges.
