From family planning and relationships, to employment and retirement, living with late-onset rare disease can affect every single touchpoint in a person’s life (much more than others even realize).

But there’s strength in community, so we'd love for you to pay it forward. What’s a piece of advice you can share about your day-to-day experiences with navigating rare disease? What’s helped? What hasn’t?

✏️ P.S. We’re creating a story with one of our partners, Catalyst, to raise awareness around late-onset rare disease. Your answer may be used in an upcoming editorial story on The Mighty.

🥁 Introducing… Cancer Corner! 🥁

Cancer of any type brings with it a transformative experience for everyone it touches. Whether you have just been diagnosed, are going through treatment, or are in remission — our new Mighty group for you.

We warmly welcome caregivers and those who are currently supporting or have lost a loved one to cancer too.

This is a safe space to talk honestly about what you’re going through — the good, the bad, and the just plain ugly. Cancer sucks, but you don’t have to face it alone.

Getting a rare disease diagnosis can be tough, but adding one on top of the complexities of adulthood can be even more challenging.

What advice do you have for an adult who’s been newly diagnosed with a rare disease? How did you “adjust your sails” and adapt to make room for it?
