Hollywood blockbuster film The Fault in Our Stars tells the story of two lovestruck teenagers who met at a cancer support group going through all the ups and downs that teenagehood entails. What happens when cancer puts their lives on hold just as it is just about to begin? The film raised many questions about the struggle teens living with cancer go through. We speak to paediatric oncologist Dr Yap Hsiao Yi and teenage leukemia survivor Naomi Syahirah about paediatric cancer and how it affects teens and their loved ones.
