| Dr. Sadhana Jackson, MD @DrSadhanaJ Q1: With it being heart healthy month ❤️ and Valentine’s Day approaching, I thought it best to address relationships and #cancer. What’s the best and worst ways you’ve experienced or observed an individual keep a relationship strong at the time of diagnosis? #AYACSM |

| Alexa Jett 🦋 @ohhiialexa A1: This is a wonderful question! ❤️ I was in a relationship at my diagnosis. He left a week before my thyroidectomy. I found love again with a cancer caregiver, @hesstruck41 , 2 years later. He understands and is a great support to me! #AYACSM |
| Lauren Ghazal, PhD, FNP-BC @lghazal @DrSadhanaJ From a friend who was in a very serious relationship at the time of her sarcoma dx, she always said what kept her relationship strong was being honest with her partner & allowing him time for himself ("breaks" she called them)... #AYACSM |

| Cancer Girl @cancergirl730 @ohhiialexa @hesstruck41 A1. I was a newlywed when I was diagnosed. It's so challenging, isn't it? Balancing a relationship and a diagnosis? #AYACSM |

 | Michele Rhee @michelerhee @DrSadhanaJ A1: One of my best friends was diagnosed in her early 30s, & her husband was phenomenal thru chemo, trying clinical trials, etc. They had been together for over 1/2 their lives when she died. #AYACSM |

 | YAKidneyCancer @YAKidneyCancer @DrSadhanaJ Hi, I’m Mallory. I’m a 9 year survivor of state 4 kidney cancer. I’m also a mental health therapist, licensed in Washington state. The worst way is ignoring the other persons illness like it isn’t happening... that was my experience. #ayacsm |
| Alexa Jett 🦋 @ohhiialexa @michelerhee @DrSadhanaJ This is so bittersweet. I am so glad she got support! ❤️ #AYACSM |

| Lauren Ghazal, PhD, FNP-BC @lghazal @DrSadhanaJ Also re: friendships. It was hard to have friendships that didn't survive throughout cancer, because friends "didn't know how to be there." As a survivor, you forget how hard it is for others, but you also feel so isolated. It's a struggle... #AYACSM |
 | Stefanie Thomas, MD @StefThomasMD @EK_Drake Hi all! Stef Thomas- pediatric/AYA oncologist at #cleclinickids. Will likely be mostly lurking and learning tonight. #AYACSM |

| reanne booker @Rea_Booker @DrSadhanaJ I’m Reanne Booker, oncology & palliative care NP from Calgary. I also run a sexual health clinic at our cancer centre. A1. Such an important question. I’ve seen relationships fall apart after a cancer diagnosis but I’ve also seen relationships get stronger. #ayacsm |

| Michele Rhee @michelerhee @lghazal @DrSadhanaJ Agree! Relationships aren’t just romantic. All relationships can be strained with a cancer diagnosis, at any age. In my day job as a #patientadvocate, I see couples, friends, all relationships break. #AYACSM |

| Emily K. Drake @EK_Drake @mtllatina Thank you for joining us tonight! Don't forget to add: #AYACSM to the end of all of your tweets so that others can see them in the conversation! I used to work in #Montreal at @Hope_Cope! I was the Director of @CancerFightClub |
| Michele Rhee @michelerhee @cancergirl730 @lghazal @DrSadhanaJ I learned the hard way that I can’t work in specific diseases that are too close to my personal experiences. I couldn’t work directly at an #AYACancer org, & I couldn’t work in the cancer my friend died from. I can work w/ other disease communities, w/ some distance. #AYACSM |

| Dr. Sadhana Jackson, MD @DrSadhanaJ Q2: What are some strategies you’ve used or individuals use to maintain good family and friendships during treatment? #AYACSM |
| Cancer Girl @cancergirl730 @michelerhee @lghazal @DrSadhanaJ That is totally understandable! I'm proud of you for being aware enough to establish those boundaries. That's not easy to do. Love you for giving back! #ayacsm |

| YAKidneyCancer @YAKidneyCancer @michelerhee @cancergirl730 @lghazal @DrSadhanaJ I found that during my internship during grad school for counseling, working with other cancer survivors was the best! The rapport happened much quicker cause they knew I’d been there. But I always made sure to check how I was feeling along the way. #ayacsm |

 | The Girl Next Door Meets Cancer @ThisGirl_Cancer RT @ohhiialexa: A1: A1: This is a wonderful question! ❤️ I was in a relationship at my diagnosis. He left a week before my thyroidectomy. I found love again with a cancer caregiver, @hesstruck41 , 2 years later. He understands and is a great support to me! #AYACSM |
| Cancer Girl @cancergirl730 @DrSadhanaJ A2. I lost everyone - family, friends, coworkers... absolutely everyone, I was left with nothing but my diagnosis. So I had no choice but to rebuild. My cancer family is AMAZING & I am truly blessed to have them! #ayacsm |
| Michele Rhee @michelerhee @cancergirl730 @lghazal @DrSadhanaJ I learn every day from my patients & advocates. I’m always amazed with everyone who can work & advocate in their (or their loved one’s) disease. It’s a remarkable strength that I admire so much. #AYACSM |

| Alexa Jett 🦋 @ohhiialexa A2: Communication and space. For both the patient and caregiver. I think both sides need to openly listen and genuinely hear each other out. Both have complicated and difficult circumstances that need to be validated. I think separate hobbies help too #AYACSM |
| YAKidneyCancer @YAKidneyCancer @DrSadhanaJ A2: Keeping a blog. As cliche as it sounds, that helped me keep the line of communication open. If I wasn’t posting, I wasn’t in a good place mentally and people could know to reach out. #ayacsm |

| Dani Taylor (She/Her) @danimarietaylor @DrSadhanaJ I think a cancer diagnosis on a young romantic relationship can bring a lot of challenge. It can mature a relationship beyond what it may have been able to cope with. I think there is a lot of guilt and pressure to keep things together in the face of cancer. #ayacsm |

| Emily K. Drake @EK_Drake RT @danimarietaylor: @DrSadhanaJ I think a cancer diagnosis on a young romantic relationship can bring a lot of challenge. It can mature a relationship beyond what it may have been able to cope with. I think there is a lot of guilt and pressure to keep things together in the face of cancer. #ayacsm |
| Dani Taylor (She/Her) @danimarietaylor @DrSadhanaJ Maintain grace for the people you love. Just as we aren’t equipped to manage a serious illnesss at a young age; our people are likely unprepared to provide the care we need. We learn together. Sometimes that is messy. #ayacsm |

| Dr. Sadhana Jackson, MD @DrSadhanaJ Q3: In chatting about relationship intimacy, what are the best ways for patients to have an open conversation with their significant other, family (and sometimes strangers) about physical and emotional sexual side effects from cancer/cancer treatment? #AYACSM |
| Cancer Girl @cancergirl730 🤣🤣🤣 #AYACSM |
| Michele Rhee @michelerhee @Rea_Booker @DrSadhanaJ If possible, speak with your patient privately (1:1) for at least part of the visit (if family members, etc. are present). Then ask some of the mental status questions. Patients put up a front for their loved ones—a lot. #AYACSM |
| Alexa Jett 🦋 @ohhiialexa @Rea_Booker @DrSadhanaJ Please ask about them! It helped me talking to my doctor at the AYA clinic about relationship issues. And it also felt great to be validated about getting therapy for the aftermath of my diagnosis. #AYACSM |
| Dani Taylor (She/Her) @danimarietaylor @DrSadhanaJ We also teach people how to care for us! Communicate your needs and you are more likely to have them met. If that’s happening and there is still a disconnect- no shame in tapping in some professional support! #ayacsm |

| YAKidneyCancer @YAKidneyCancer @DrSadhanaJ A3: I don’t have much experience in this sector... heh... but I would say clear and open conversation. Any pain or insecurities need to be talked about instead of “just trying to work thru it” on your own. #ayacsm |

| Cancer Girl @cancergirl730 @DrSadhanaJ A4. Eventually I was just too tired to give a f---. So, I put it all out at the start. Lots of rejection, but I didn't waste my time. That's how I found Hubs. No. 2. #AYACSM |
| Alexa Jett 🦋 @ohhiialexa A4: That’s up to you. I hid my diagnosis until I got into advocacy, and then I became upfront. I’ll be honest, there are lots of people who have issues with cancer. Especially the “my grandma died of cancer” types. But good ones ARE out there! #AYACSM |
| Alexa Jett 🦋 @ohhiialexa @cancergirl730 @DrSadhanaJ YES!!! #AYACSM https://t.co/WuvuInmYbm |
| Cancer Girl @cancergirl730 @DrSadhanaJ A2. There's nothing quite like telling someone new, "the doctor said I've got less than 6 months." That's been 7.5 years #AYACSM |
| YAKidneyCancer @YAKidneyCancer A4: for me, I let them know pretty much from the start that I’m a survivor. However, all the details and more sensitive information around it is left until much much later in a relationship. #AYACSM |
| Dr. Sadhana Jackson, MD @DrSadhanaJ @ohhiialexa @cancergirl730 I would recommend to have a discussion with yourself first about what’s most comfortable for you in telling your cancer journey (of course leave in the juicy parts and maybe hold on explaining the parts that would cause you to sob uncontrollably on the first date) #AYACSM |
