    Permission to Daydream: Reflections from Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) Cancer Survivors
    May 4 2026

    In this episode of Designing Care On-Air, we’re joined by Alex and Bri, both two-time cancer survivors, as they reflect on what it felt like to navigate cancer at an age when they were often told, “You’re too young to be here.” Together, we explore the unique needs of AYA cancer patients, the search for community and belonging, and the ways healthcare environments can either deepen isolation or help hold hope. This is a conversation about survivorship, design, and the radical importance of giving young people facing cancer permission to still imagine a life ahead.
