- Reposted by Dr. Emily DrakeA3: I searched on FB for something local and didn’t find that support until the middle of radiation. We used to meet for dinner 1x a month. I miss those days. #AYACSM
- Reposted by Dr. Emily DrakeAnd that's why we'd be lost without you. #AYACSM
- Reposted by Dr. Emily DrakeI just hopped on and jumped right into the conversation. #AYACSM
- In 2008, I read the NCI + Livestrong Young Adult Cancer Alliance report in the library of my university and it was at that moment that I became an #AYACSM advocate. Full steam ahead!
- Q3: How did you first find your way into the AYA community – or how did the community find you? #AYACSM
- Reposted by Dr. Emily DrakeA3. I found someone on FB who was all about the AYA community. She introduced me, got me hooked, and gave me purpose. #AYACSM
- Reposted by Dr. Emily DrakeI like these ideas. You've broken the mindset so many of us think of in terms of financial toxicity. #AYACSM

- Reposted by Dr. Emily DrakeWelcome, Megsie! And yes, @cancerandcareers.bsky.social is AMAZING. I'm a huge fan. #AYACSM
- Reposted by Dr. Emily DrakeA2: I wish I had known about Cancer and Careers. Do I disclose or not to disclose with a new employer and what my rights were. #AYACSM
- Reposted by Dr. Emily DrakeIt really is. Especially since so many don't have health insurance. The only orgs I can think of are those that help with college scholarships - which doesn't really help if you're an older AYA #AYACSM
- Reposted by Dr. Emily DrakeQ2: What did you wish existed but couldn’t find when you needed it most to have personally or share with someone else? #AYACSM
- Reposted by Dr. Emily DrakeReally? I would love to keep in touch and discuss how we can bridge the gap. #AYACSM
- Reposted by Dr. Emily DrakeIn my community, it remains a huge gap that needs improving #AYACSM
- It really is. And I know that our community has the power to change that. #AYACSM
- Reposted by Dr. Emily DrakeIt's not an easy challenge because our passionate community is adding resources daily. And I *love* that about us. We have the power to change the cancer journey for everyone. #AYACSM
- Reposted by Dr. Emily DrakeExactly. And there is an org that will even clean your house for free while you're in active treatment. Most people tell me this would have been a HUGE help, but they had no idea it existed. #AYACSM
- A1. When Billy, Maureen and I started #AYACSM - one of the intentions of doing so was to be able to keep up with the resources available
- Reposted by Dr. Emily DrakeA1. For me, it was hearing about how AYAs didn't know about the resources available to them when they were needed. I founded Concierge for Hope to fix this problem in our community. #AYACSM
- Reposted by Dr. Emily DrakeQ1: Looking back, what resource, support, or moment had the biggest impact on your AYA cancer journey? If you work in the field, which resource have you found that is most helpful to share? #AYACSM
- Reposted by Dr. Emily DrakeI'm so honored to do it. This has been a dream of mine since #AYACSM started!
