AYA

Every day, Kristen Fix and Brandee Aquilino, members of the AYA and Pediatric Psychosocial Team at Roswell Park, offer guidance and support to adolescents and young adults diagnosed with cancer as they navigate the road to recover

At some point in your cancer journey, a long hospital stay may be inevitable. Some days, sleep may be your go-to pastime to combat nausea, pain or side effects from treatment.

With each new year comes a sense of hope. An opportunity to set ambitious goals, break bad habits and learn from past mistakes. It’s a free pass at a fresh start with endless possibilities for growth.

The holidays are a time of joy and celebration; a time to reunite with family and friends and revel in tradition. However, the news of a cancer diagnosis can halt holiday cheer.

Life shouldn't stop with a cancer diagnosis – especially your love life.

For the AYA population, becoming a parent was probably an afterthought, until cancer threatened the possibility.

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and is also celebrated as Leukemia and Lymphoma Awareness Month.
