After surgery and about a year of chemotherapy she was considered to be in remission. In August of 2000 at age 23, Tanya was again diagnosed with cancer, this time AML, a type of leukemia. It was after this diagnosis that she realized there was a lack of resources for young adult cancer patients and survivors. It was at this time that she started compiling information for a website dedicated to the young adult cancer survivor. Hence this website and organization were born. Aside from working on Cancer Survivors Unite, Tanya enjoys watching football, cooking, and spending time with family and friends. *On November 15, 2006, Tanya had surgery to get an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). In May of 2007 she needed her ICD upgraded, to a bi-ventricular Pacemaker. Since the insertion of the pacemaker, she is doing well. For more information about Pacemakers, visit Penn Health.

Since then he has been cancer free. Doug has been involved with Cancer Survivors Unite since its inception back in 2004; this is the second time he has served as a board member. Doug feels he is giving back to the cancer community, by helping other young adult cancer survivors through tough times.
