Each year, 72,000 teens and young adults are diagnosed with cancer, and thousands more will have a parent or sibling diagnosed. Considered the "invisible cohort" within cancer research, teens living with cancer have unique needs that are not always met. This thirtieth volume in the It Happened to Me series examines the needs and experiences of teen cancer survivors in their own words, along with some general information and support recommendations. Thornton, whose brother died of leukemia, clearly cares deeply about her subject and the teens who tell their stories....Teens needing comfort during a difficult time may find it in this volume.
