I was 25 years old and had been ill for a year and four months, while struggling to be taken seriously and get a proper examination. When I received my cancer diagnosis, thyroid cancer, in April 2023, I had a total of 26 tumors in my neck. My lecture is about the fight that young adults need to wage to be heard and taken seriously in healthcare.

My name is Alfons Peterson, I am 23 years old, and I am NOT grateful that I got cancer. However, I know what people need. I know what the thousands of people who are currently depressed need.
