👉Despite some good news in our paper (no increased stillbirth risk for AYA women with cancer), risk was dramatically higher for Hispanic or Latino and Black AYA women. #Texas, it’s past time to address structural #Racism & ensure equitable reproductive & #cancer care @UTSWNews

Survivorship plans for cancer patients at the end of treatment need to be better than “hey you’re done see ya in 3 months!” 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

It’s AYA awareness week! Our focus group study on AYAs’ pandemic experience found that for some AYAs with cancer, the pandemic helped break down social barriers around illness. #ayaaware #ayacancer #ayacancerawareness

AYA cancer patients and survivors have a right to receive appropriate care, but they are the most underserved population by age. Here are some key rights that AYA patients need to keep in mind in order to be strong advocates for themselves. #ayaware #ayacancer #AYACancerAwareness

It's AYA (Adolescent and Young Adult) Cancer Awareness week 🚨 89.5K people aged 15-39 will be diagnosed this year in the US! Share information, resources, and events along from AYA orgs and let's reach more people than ever this year! #ayaware #ayacancer #AYACancerAwareness

The AYA cancer experience is unique. One of the goals of #ayaware week is to raise awareness about the challenges adolescents and young adults under 40 face when dealing with cancer and its long term effects, while also managing their daily lives. #ayacancer #AYACancerAwareness

It's AYA awareness week! Cancer turns life upside down for adolescents and young adults (AYA, ages 15-39), who may also face infertility, financial burden of treatment, and accelerated aging due to treatments. #ayaware #ayacancer #AYAcancerawareness https://t.co/3fSJ865Qah
