Thank you to Children’s Cancer and Leukaemia Group & Teenagers and Young Adults with Cancer for inviting me to share my own experiences as part of #TYACAM . Although a large part of my job involves talking with young people about their experiences of cancer and how it has affected their lives, it is rare that I speak about my own.

🦴 Osteosarcoma is the most common form of bone sarcoma in teenagers and young adults. It often affects the knee, thigh bone, shin bone, or upper arm. Learn more about this type of sarcoma and its impact on young people. #TYACAM

Ruby was 17 when she was diagnosed with #BloodCancer . Her mum Emma began fundraising in Ruby's memory, determined to make a difference for teens like Ruby. She set up Remembering Ruby at CCLG to help raise vital #research funds ❤ More info at: bit.ly/3UhNfC5 #TYACAM

🦴 Chondrosarcoma is a type of bone sarcoma in children and young people, accounting for about 10% of all chondrosarcoma cases. It mostly affects the upper arm, thigh bone (femur), shoulder blades, ribs, and pelvis. #TYACAM

In patients aged 15-19, osteosarcoma is 6x more likely to be diagnosed in the lower limbs.

Cancer is different in young people. They need a tailored approach to improving their diagnosis, treatment, and care 🧡

Love this #TYACAM #partnership

Fantastic to see so many charities come together for #TYACAM - raising awareness and sharing info. Most importantly, great to have heard from so many young patients sharing their experiences via the partnership, reminding us why #TYACAM is important.
