SUPPORTING SURVIVORS AT EVERY STAGE
From diagnosis through treatment and beyond
CANCER SURVIVORSHIP
Is a state of being, including the perspectives, needs, health, and the physical, psychological, social, and economic challenges experienced by people and caregivers after a cancer diagnosis.
A cancer survivor is anyone who has been diagnosed with cancer, from the time of diagnosis throughout their life. This includes people living with cancer as well as those who are cancer-free. The term is used to describe individuals with a history of cancer and may not reflect how every person chooses to identify themselves.
While many people with cancer receive comprehensive information and support during treatment, survivorship care is often a new and unfamiliar area. Questions about physical recovery, menopause, emotional well-being, long-term health, and quality of life frequently arise after treatment ends, yet dedicated survivorship resources remain limited.
This platform was created to help address that gap by providing credible, evidence-informed information and resources tailored to the unique needs of cancer survivors.
