Colorectal cancer (CRC) isn’t just about physical health—it impacts your whole life. For young adults, the challenges often go far beyond treatment.
Here’s what matters most to those diagnosed:
-
Physical health: dealing with fatigue, changes in the body, and the cost of care.
-
Mental health: coping with anxiety, stress, and fears about the future.
-
Family planning: worrying about fertility and the ability to have kids after treatment.
-
Career goals: balancing school, work, and financial stability while managing cancer.
The big message: support has to be more than medicine. Young people facing CRC need open conversations, clear answers from doctors, and real guidance for their personal goals.
You’re not alone. Your health, future, and dreams deserve to be part of the care you receive.
