Teens & young adults with cancer have unique needs - but are often overlooked in systems built for children or adults.

Loving this ‘Tumour Humour’ poem from Aagoon 👇🏽
#TYACAM #WorldArtDay
White text on a black background. Title reads: Tumour Humour Text from Aagoon's poem reads: One morning, I’m rushing, ready to face Another long day, another rat race. Late to my calculus class at nine, I pull back my hair and a lump I find. I touch it and frown, unsure of its might, Day after day, it stays there in sight. Small and unbothered, it sits like a chum, Mr. Lump, my companion, a new rule of thumb. Aagoon, 21.
"Writing this poem helped me find some light in the chaos." Aagoon wrote Tumour Humour, a poem about being diagnosed with stage 3 Hodgkin's Lymphoma when she was 19.
