Hi Lynette - This study really illustrates the need to support cancer survivors in a wholistic manner throughout their lives, no matter what age they are at diagnosis. I was struck by those most at risk for suicidal thoughts seem to be those in an age range at which most children lose health insurance support through their parents and may therefore lose many aspects of their support system. This study will certainly make me much more aware of the need to address gaps that may occur and put young people at higher risk. Thanks so much for this information.
Best regards,
Pat
