Summary

This study tests a short therapy program for young adults (ages 25-39) with cancer and their partners. The goal is to see if it helps them cope with stress and stay connected as a couple. About 20 couples will take part in 8 sessions. The study focuses on whether people find it helpful and practical, not on curing cancer.
