Hello old friends, new friends, and friends I haven’t met yet! My name is Amber Pywell (she/her). I was diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer with a follicular variant with metastases to my lymph nodes in 2015 at the age of 34, with a husband and three small kids at home. Soon after surgery and treatment, YACC found me, and I have been hooked ever since. I have experienced every event, and have volunteered at every opportunity. YACC came along when I needed it most, and gave me everything I never knew I needed, so I am beyond thrilled to help provide opportunities for you to experience the same thing. I’m basically an open book, and I’m here with no judgment, no advice, just acceptance and really big heart. Huzzah!
