$70,058 raised for Sarcoma research and to fight cancer in the Louisville community! We’re incredibly proud of Kappa Zeta Chapter’s efforts in memory of Steven Vanover’s ‘08 battle against sarcoma. The Spin for Steven event has raised over $300,000 since 2017.
In this #FocusingOnYou segment, Dr. Warren Alperstein, a pediatric hematologist-oncologist at Sylvester, discusses the unique needs of the Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer (#AYA) population, and how our team of experts come together to best treat patients. #AYACancerAwareness
@EK_Drake As a caregiver/mom I was at a total loss to 1)comprehend what was happening and then 2)discuss with my 18 yr old son. Keep up the good work!!

Some very interesting stats here from @yacancercanada, including that more than 6 years after treatment, 50% of young adult respondents reported poor mental health. Oy.
From @calgaryherald:
"'Despite ringing the bell, the cancer journey is not over. Once you ring the bell, the hardest part is getting through everything that’s after the treatment,' said Turnbull, who was 29 in 2019 when she was diagnosed with cancer."
