Support for young adults with cancer

A service instructor will support you at the beginning of cancer treatment, during it, and at the end of treatment when moving on to the follow-up and monitoring period. You will meet the instructor for the first time at the start of your treatment during the first few weeks. With the service instructor, you can discuss matters that concern you and get information about different forms of support that could be useful in your changed life situation. The aim is to work together to find the right support services for your needs, both inside and outside the hospital.  

The service instructor performs multi-professional cooperation with different actors. The service is confidential and free of charge and forms a part of the care package for young adults.  

Counseling via telephone provides you and your loved ones with support and information about existing services and guidance in applying for them. Calling a telephone counseling service and talking to a service instructor for young adults can help you understand your situation and what forms of support and services might be most suitable for you.  

Telephone counseling is open on Tuesdays from 12.30 to 2.30 p.m. at 040 621 6213. The telephone service is closed on holidays.
