Vision Statement The needs of young spouses of cancer patients often go unrecognized and unappreciated. The emotional and logistical issues a young spouse of a cancer patient faces are vastly different from spouses of older cancer patients that dominated oncology units and support groups. General family support groups are likewise inadequate at addressing the needs of a young cancer spouse. At YoungCancerSpouses, we seek to provide a source of practical information gained from our experience as young cancer spouses. We also strive to bring together other young cancer spouses to share ideas, lend support, and validate their wide range of feelings and emotions so they can find comfort in an understanding community.
