About: Royal Hospital for Children and Young People (Edinburgh) / Youth Support Coordinator Service

(as the patient),

When I was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer I met Conor from teenage cancer trust and he really helped me. He took me on trips and connected me with other young people with cancer which have now became so of my closest friend.

Hello There,

I am so glad to hear about the positive impact that our peer support groups have had for you. I absolutely love that you have formed such a close bond with some of our other young people through coming along to our activities.

Thank you for your kind words and hope to see you at another event soon!

Best Wishes,

Conor Smart, Youth Support Coordinator
