• A Very Special Evening for Tee A Very Special Evening for Teenage and Young Adult Cancer Survivors

  • From: drsender
  • Description:

    A very special evening for teenage and young adult cancer survivors was held on April 12 at the Dave & Busters in Orange, Orange County where we celebrated the coming together of the CHOC Cancer Institute and the UC Irvine Healthcare System's Program for Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Patients.

    The evening was entitled "It Can't Own Me" and was a spectacular success, with over 200 people showing up including survivors of pediatric cancers, adolescent patients who are currently undergoing therapy, young adults in therapy, as well as young adult cancer survivors. The mixture of the different ages around a common concern and a common desire to celebrate life and to prove to themselves and to the world that their cancer can’t own them.

    The highlight of the evening was a performance by Jonna Tomases of her one-person act called "Jonna's Body", which was enjoyed by all. The most spectacular success of the evening was the videoing of interviews with many of the cancer patients where they were able to express in their own words what having cancer meant to them and what cancer survivorship means to them now.

    Stay tuned for the release of some of these videos as YouTube events, as well as placement onto this web site that is being developed by Jan Lansing and Nicole Borchard and the marketing program at CHOC known as "It Can't Own Me," a wonderful social media site that has great promise of being able to use new modern technology of Internet communications to connect young people together in a social network and forum. Our hope is to continue this project and expand it to other patients in the system so that we can end the loneliness and isolation often felt by young patients and young adults.

    The CHOC Cancer Institute is pleased to announce a new partnership with the National Melanoma Awareness Project and the UCI School of Medicine.

    The National Melanoma Awareness Project began as an expansion of the Joel Myres Melanoma Awareness Project which was initiated in 2003 with a group of UCI medical students interested in teaching local teens about skin cancer.

    Today with the support of the Children's Hospital of Orange County, the UCI School of Medicine and along with other community based partnerships, the organization has grown to continue the mission and goals of The National Melanoma Awareness Project. This affiliation is funded by the John Wayne Cancer Foundation.

    The goal of the National Melanoma Awareness Project aims to educate students and their teachers in grades 6-12 about the suns effects on skin, sun protection, and skin cancers with an emphasis on early detection of melanoma.

    The partnership with the CHOC Cancer Institute provides access to the local school districts through the community outreach efforts already established. The CHOC Cancer Institute Adolescent Young Adult (AYA) Program offers specialized cancer treatment designed for teens and young adults. As part of its mission, the CHOC Cancer Institute offers education on cancer awareness and prevention. Melanoma is the most prevalent type of cancer in oncology patients ages 20-29. Melanoma is associated with sun exposure, 80% of which we get before the age of 18.

    The Spot A Spot Save A Life program provides education on sun protection, skin cancer, early detection of melanoma and self screening. Medical and pre-medical students present the information at the school site.

    Contact Ali Ansary , Community Health Program Manager at 714-585-8709 or aansary@choc.org to arrange a presentation at your school.
