Lauren Leonard
Being a young adult with cancer comes with its own unique circumstances – and Lauren Leonard is no stranger to those hurdles. Diagnosed with stage IV primary bone diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma at 22, and now in remission, Leonard has faced challenges in all parts of her life as a result of her diagnosis as a young adult.
Sarah and Tom Murray and their son, Owen
Sarah Murray was planning her wedding when she was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 29. Like many other young women in her shoes, she feared she would never have children. Instead, she became the first American woman in an international research study to go off breast cancer medication and have a baby.
