Testicular cancer is one of the most curable forms of cancer. There are nearly 140,000 men who have survived testicular cancer in the United States.”

An Update from the folks at Seventy K: If you live in California Check This Out!

Seventy K is a new campaign to raise awareness about the lack of rights that adolescent and young adult cancer (AYA) patients, those ages 15 to 39, have in the organized medical world. AYA patients, especially those in the younger end of the spectrum, tend to fall through the cracks of being considered either a pediatric or adult cancer patient, and sometimes face gaps in services and treatments. Developed by Dr. Leonard Sender, an AYA Cancer specialist, the SeventyK project includes an AYA-specific Bill of Rights which will ensure that adolescent and young adult cancer patients have adequate and specific treatment programs, similar to those developed for young children and adult cancer patients.

In addition, Dr. Sender, who works at the Children’s Hospital of Orange County and at the University of California -Irvine Medical Center, will be speaking at a special free event coming up.

When: Saturday April 12, 2008 from 5-8pm

Where: Dave and Buster’s
20 City Blvd., West Bldg. G, Suite 1 Orange, CA 92686

RSVP: Reserve your space by April 4th by calling 714-289-4735 or emailing gsanchez@choc.org
