Teenage and Young Adult Cancer Service

C-Forward is the Teenage and Young Adult Cancer Service at Addenbrooke’s Hospital.

We provide age appropriate care and support for 13-24 year olds with cancer in the Eastern Region.

This site was built for you so make the most of it and explore the interactive zones where you make the content: share stories with other like minded people in the Peer Support Zone; view the Gallery where you'll find pictures of recent events; listen to music on the online Jukebox. You can also watch videos and learn more about Jimmy Teens and find all the information you’d expect about C-Forward.

If you’ve got something to say, want to ask a discreet question or just want to know how to find us, contact us

Jimmy Teens

Teenage cancer patients at Addenbrooke’s Hospital have been making films to express and share their feelings about their experiences in hospital.

A professional team of filmmakers, producers, web designers and script editors are on hand to help patients make their films.
