A report led by researchers at the American Cancer Society, in collaboration with NCI, showed that more than 18 million Americans (8.3 million males and 9.7 million females) with a history of cancer were living in the United States as of Jan. 1, 2022, with over 12 million (67%) aged 65 years or older.

During this first week of December, National Grief Awareness Week, we can raise awareness about grief in young adults with cancer to help ensure that no one grieves alone. xxx:more
