Teenage Cancer Trust offers lots of advice for family and friends
The Teenage Cancer Trust is a charity which specialises is looking after teenagers and young adults who have been diagnosed with cancer and they have masses of information on offer.
Being a teenager is hard enough anyway so hearing such difficult news can make life seem even more tough.
The Teenage Cancer Trust is run by people with specialist experience in this area who have developed a Guide for Family and Friends so that everyone can be involved in understanding how to help.
