The 7 is off today but we're sharing a moving recent episode of "Post Reports." Since 2000, the rate of new cancer diagnoses for people ages 15 to 49 has climbed by 10 percent. This year, more than 200,000 people in that age group will be newly diagnosed with cancer. They will join more than 2.1 million Americans who were also diagnosed as young adults and are living with the disease. In today’s episode, Post video journalist Drea Cornejo sits down with host Elahe Izadi to talk about how Drea’s own cancer diagnosis three years ago, when she was 26, motivated her to report on the realities facing more younger adults. Drea documented the lives of Tanner and Shay Martin over the past six months as they navigated Tanner’s terminal colon cancer diagnosis with big life decisions including starting a family. While most young adults survive their cancer diagnosis, they still face the potential of a greatly altered future with implications for relationships, careers, finances and family planning. You can watch The Post’s short documentary about Tanner and Shay here. Be sure to also check out the comic about Drea’s diagnosis here. Today’s show was produced by Elana Gordon. It was mixed by Ted Muldoon and edited by Renita Jablonski with additional editing by Lynh Bui, Mary-Ellen Deily and Dan Keating. Additional reporting for this story came from Dan Keating, Ariana Cha and Julia Wall. Special thanks to Wendy Galietta, Whitney Leaming, Jessica Koscielniak and Stephen Smith. Subscribe to The Washington Post here

The 7 team is off for Memorial Day so we're bringing you a conversation our colleague Elahe Izadi had recently that we've been thinking about a lot. It digs into how to manage what we can't control as the world can feel increasingly uncertain. Elahe sat down with Tara Brach, a therapist with a PhD in clinical psychology who has also spent years studying Buddhism and mindfulness. Tara teaches meditation, and she’s written several books including one called “Radical Acceptance: Embracing Your Life With the Heart of a Buddha.”If you’re interested in learning more about her work or accessing her podcast and meditations, you can find that here. This episode was produced by Emma Talkoff and mixed by Sam Bair. It was edited by Maggie Penman. Subscribe to The Washington Post here.
