How can we make inclusion part of everyday cancer care? At @myESMO Congress in Madrid, @CancerEurope and EONS brought healthcare professionals & patient advocates together for a @youthcancereu workshop on developing practical tools to adress this issue.

Cancer awareness has an audience problem. And healthcare cannot solve it alone. Representing @CancerEurope at @myESMO Congress in Madrid, Katie Rizvi and Nataly Hrad contributed to the ESMO-EONS collaborative session on reducing diagnostic delay in young people under 40.

What can the Youth Council help achieve? For Andrea, it’s about creating the change she wishes had existed when she was diagnosed as a teenager, 19 years ago. 📩 DM us to learn more or join the Youth Council!

This week, our team is at the @strong_AYA General Assembly, with Ana, Erik and Tomaz taking part as members of the Patient Advisory Board (PAB). Good to be in Warsaw, exchanging ideas, asking questions and helping shape the next steps together. 💜

We’re inviting young people aged 18+ affected by cancer across Europe to take part in a survey about social connections, isolation, and emotional wellbeing during and after treatment. 🔗 Take the survey and share your experience: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…

Life is possible after cancer. And Olga from Ukraine knows this first-hand. Diagnosed with thyroid cancer two years ago and breast cancer one year later, Olga is now in remission. This summer, she joined us at @szigetfestival for the @youthcancereu Youth Council meeting.

82 young people. 30 countries. One very difficult photo to fit into a frame. Different flags, languages and experiences. One shared determination to make life better for young people living with and beyond cancer. This is @youthcancereu Cancer Network at Sziget Festival Official

Thank you for taking the time to meet the @youthcancereu community at @szigetofficial, @Naikamusic. Here’s to finding common ground in music, stories and the things that connect us. 🧶✨ #Sziget2026 #StrongerTogether #YouthChangingEurope

This week in Budapest, young people from 30 countries came together to question, challenge, share ideas and help shape YARN’s work for the years ahead. Working by day. Sziget by night. @youthcancereu

Thank you for making time for our community, Yousuke Yukimatsu. 💛 You’ll always have friends in the YARN Cancer Council and across the youth cancer community in Europe. Thank you for sharing your story and using your voice to make others feel a little less alone. 🇯🇵✨
