“ What has been found across the world is that what makes young people a bit more different is that they ’ re going through a growth stage , and not just a physical growth stage , but they are finding their place in the world with – career , relationships , fertility , the meaning of life – and when they have a framework apart from the clinical treatment , they have a much better outcome because they can say , ‘ Well , this is just a phase I ’ m going through . This is treatment and I ’ ll deal with it . In the meantime , I can still think about further education or getting a job ,’” explained Tuchyna .
The youth facility is staffed by nurses , psychologists , data managers and various other health care professionals who provide a support system for patients to complete schooling amongst other aspects of their life .
“[ Patients ] often miss out on schooling or need a modified schooling program , but whether it is high school or university , they receive appropriate psychosocial support , career counseling and various events that help them bond with other people who have gone through cancer , as well ,” said Tuchyna .
Sir Charles Gairdner Cancer Centre can be referred to as a “ growth center ” as it not only enriches the lives of the patients that cross through its doors , but in terms of framework as well , as the centre is continuously looking to expand and improve upon itself .
