Full Episode
What do James Van Der Beek, Dwayne Wade, and Kate Middleton have in common? They're all youngish people who have been diagnosed with cancer. And it's not just famous people. Younger and younger people are getting cancer more and more. That's fact. So we here at Today Explained wanted to figure out why and figure out how people are dealing with this.
So we sent out our producer, Victoria Chamberlain, to a meetup for young adults with cancer. Victoria, where'd you go?
I didn't go anywhere, Sean. You didn't go anywhere. You failed. The pandemic changed everything, including cancer support groups. So there's one that used to happen in person. And then it shifted to Zoom so that more people from around the country could go and people who are immune compromised because they have cancer.
OK, so you hit up a Zoom.
I hit up a Zoom with a whole bunch of 30 to 40 year olds who are in the thick of cancer diagnosis and survivorship.
OK, what Victoria learned coming up on Today Explained.
