Being diagnosed with cancer during the teenage years can be significant given that young people are at a key developmental, educational, and future-planning stage. Little is known about young people's attitude toward and engagement with school postdiagnosis, nor how this changes over time. We adopted a novel qualitative approach to examine accounts over time of young people recently diagnosed with cancer.
