Hi I am trying to find out any information or create a support group for young adults who are suffering from a secondary cancer of unknown primary.
If anyone has any information / groups which they already attend, please let me know.

I've sat down at the desk with a notebook and pen ready to start many times then felt either silly at writing stuff down or scared that my family would find, read and either think me mad or be scared to death at the thoughts I have written in my book.
