Yeah, we didn't particularly want to be here, either. But while we're here, we figured we might as well make the best of it.

Planet Cancer is a community of young adults with cancer. (You know, that age between "pediatric" and "geriatric," where no one knows whether to give you a lollipop or have a serious talk about your fiber intake.) It's a place to share insights, explore our fears, laugh, or even give the finger to cancer with others who just plain get it. We don't deny the dark side of illness and death here. But we also firmly believe that laughter and light can turn up in the strangest places.

So, welcome to Planet Cancer - we're glad you're here. Well, not really.
