Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Program, WVU Medicine

05/04/2026

A cancer diagnosis in your teens, 20s, or 30s comes with challenges that look different from any other stage of life — and your care should reflect that.

In Cancer Close-Up: Episode 6, Patrick Tomboc, DO, and Laurel Lyckholm, MD, break down how the WVU Cancer Institute’s Adolescent and Young Adult Program is designed specifically for you — supporting everything from treatment decisions to life after cancer.

Because your care should meet you where you are.

⚾️💛💙 What a day for our AYA crew!

The AYA group had an incredible time cheering on the West Virginia Mountaineers baseball as they took on Houston — and brought home a 7–3 win! 🙌

From great company to great baseball, it was a perfect reminder of the power of community, connection, and just enjoying the moment together. These are the days that matter.

Thanks to everyone who joined us — we can’t wait for the next outing! 💙💛

Joy doesn’t have to be big to be meaningful.

It’s in the everyday moments — a hug from family, coffee with a friend, a walk outside, a shared smile.

During AYA Awareness Week, we’re celebrating those moments and the strength it takes to keep showing up. 🌱

No one understands the AYA cancer experience quite like someone who’s lived it.

That’s why connection matters. Sharing stories and encouragement can help you feel seen, heard, and supported — no matter where you are in your journey.

Our AYA support group is here for you. All are welcome. 💛
