This morning 6 teenagers heard the words "you have cancer", 6 will hear it tomorrow and 6 the day after. If you're a teenager and unlucky enough to be diagnosed with cancer, chances are you'll receive treatment on a ward with very young children or elderly patients. TCT funds specialist teenage units in NHS hospitals, providing an environment where teenagers can get on with being teenagers, an environment we hope will improve survival rates and ensure a better future for patients and their families. We have 9 units - we need another 14 to reach every single young person with cancer in the UK.
