Presentation Description:
Adolescence is a transformative and often trying time in any young person’s life; throwing in a lymphoma diagnosis creates a veritable web of challenges. This interactive workshop tackled issues that are common in adolescents diagnosed with lymphoma, specifically: treatment-related toxicities, mental health concerns and sexuality. Attendees left with practical strategies to bring back to the bedside.
