"You can't eat your way out of what is going to come next. Just take a breath."

Dr Joshua Wolrich cuts straight to it: a cancer diagnosis comes with a huge amount of guilt, shame, and fear around food. That's one of the many reasons our guide exists - without the fear and misinformation that often comes with it.

A room built for you.

The Jane Goodman Sanctuary Room at UCLH is officially open, and we couldn't be more proud. It's the first dedicated wellbeing space for young adult cancer patients in a UK hospital, and it exists because people in their 20s, 30s and 40s deserve somewhere in the hospital that actually feels like theirs.

A calm, quiet, age-appropriate sanctuary, right there in the heart of the clinical environment.

This is what changes when people listen. This is what age-appropriate support looks like.

We'd like to thank UCLH - University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, The Jane Goodman Charitable Trust, Llewelyn Davies, TONIC London, Dunelm, The Do Book Co., and The School of Life for helping to bring the sanctuary room to life.

Last week, the UK made history.

The To***co and Vapes Act is now law, making it illegal to sell to***co to anyone born on or after 1 January 2009, delivering a historic step towards a smoke-free UK. A generation of children will now grow up never legally able to buy ci******es.

At Trekstock, we welcome this wholeheartedly. Smoking remains one of the most significant preventable causes of cancer, and prevention matters enormously. But so does what comes after a diagnosis.

Because for every person in their 20s, 30s and 40s who will be protected by this legislation in the years to come, there are thousands of young adults navigating a cancer diagnosis right now. People whose needs are frequently overlooked, who are told they're too young to be this unwell, and who often find themselves without the tailored support they deserve.

Preventing future cancers and supporting people living with cancer today are two sides of the same coin.

We celebrate this landmark moment. And we'll keep showing up for the people who need support right now, while the long-term benefits of this legislation do their vital work.

The "landmark" legislation aims to stop anyone born after 1 January 2009 from taking up smoking to create a smoke-free generation.

To every woman who had to fight to be taken seriously. 💛

International Women's Day may have passed, but the diagnostic gap is a conversation that deserves attention every day - the fact is that women are more likely than men to need multiple GP visits before being referred for cancer testing.

If that's part of your story, we want you to know: you're not alone, and you deserved to be heard sooner.

Trekstock is here for everyone in their 20s, 30s and 40s living with and beyond cancer regardless of how you identify. We exist to provide free support to help you rebuild your strength, your health, and your confidence - no matter where you are in your own cancer journey.
