Adolescence and young adulthood is often a difficult enough time
without serious illness. However, research has shown that cancer,
and surviving cancer, at this age presents distinctive problems
medically, socially and psychologically. This important work offers
a glimpse into a previously under-researched area and contributes
to a better understanding of the needs of young adults post
cancer.
Focusing not only on the physical effects, but also the social,
cognitive, emotional and physiological consequences of surviving
cancer in young adulthood, Anne Grinyer draws directly upon data
collected from young adults who have been treated for cancer. The
book is structured around themes they raised such as fertility;
life plans; identity; psychological effects and physical effects.
These issues are drawn together in the final chapter and related to
clinical and professional practice as well as current policy.
This book presents the voices of those who have lived through
the experience of cancer in young adulthood, and links them to the
theoretical and analytical literature. It will be of interest to
professionals and researchers in nursing, social work, counselling
and medicine as well as medical sociologists, young adults living
with cancer and survivors of young adult cancer.
