Hello, I have found this community through google which suggested that there are specific forums or communities here for neurodivergent experiences with cancer. I really need support around being neurodivergent and not fitting "evidence-based" treatment guidelines. It has been a little over a year since I have been first diagnosed and I felt like I had to advocate for my needs ad nauseam with all of my medical providers. My cancer is advanced and I will be on targete4d treatment for another 3 years, and I am EXHAUSTED! I would love to connect with other ND-identifying folks with cancer and get some support and ideas. Thank you!
Hi ivdiyan1fdcce and sorry to hear about your journey today.
There are no specific neurodivergent groups but if you care to have a look through this link Cancer Specific Groups you will find all our dedicated cancer support groups listed.
Do join your specific cancer group, put up a post and you may well find someone who is neurodivergent.
