Cancer Survivorship – Life After treatment

Posted on by Pinaki Saha

Cancer survivorship means different things to different people. For some, it may be a time of reflection and growth. Others may feel on a roller coaster of emotions, from joy to sadness. No matter your experience, there are ways to cope with the challenges of cancer survivorship. 

After completing treatment  

One of the first things you may notice is that you no longer have the same level of support from your medical team, which can be a difficult adjustment, but it is essential to remember that you are now in charge of your health. You may need to take on new responsibilities, such as managing your medications or monitoring your health. But this is also a time when you can start to take charge of your own life and make choices that are best for you.

Regardless of your experience with cancer survivorship, remember that you are not alone. What you have been through makes you stronger and more resilient. Cancer survivorship can also be a time of growth and healing. With the right support, you can overcome challenges, emerge even stronger than before, and live a whole and happy life.

Here are some tips to help you make the best of it

  • Focus on the future. It’s essential to learn from your experience with cancer, but it’s not healthy to dwell on it. Instead, focus on the present and the future.
  • Stay positive. A positive outlook will help you cope with the challenges that come with life after cancer.
  • Find a support network. Many people have been through what you’re going through. Find a support group or talk to a counselor who can help you navigate this time. Please visit cancergo.org to learn more about the support network.
  • Live your life. Don’t let cancer define you. You are more than your diagnosis. Live your life to the fullest and enjoy every moment.

 

Life after cancer can be a fantastic journey. You must remember that it will take time, patience, and resilience for your body/mind; there will always be challenges and many sources of strength along the way! Remember, live a happy life and be the best version of yourself!

Find and engage with a physician

You may engage with our physician and specialist community – one of a kind opportunity to start a conversation outside of your hospital network.

Cancer patients and survivors find community and support on cancerGO

Posted on by Pinaki Saha

On behalf of caregivers and survivors, we welcome you to cancerGo. Our social network is the first ever dedicated exclusively to people living with or fighting cancer – it is a safe space where they can connect with others who understand what they are going through; seek help from those who have experience with cancer while sharing stories of hope along their journey – it can be difficult at times, but there is always someone else out here waiting! Your support is not limited by where you receive treatment, making cancerGo special!

The fear and anxiety of a cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming. That is why we created cancerGo to provide support when going through life-changing events. 

Cancer is an isolating disease. People often feel like they are going through it alone, even though many cancer patients receive support from friends and family members throughout their journey- joining a community platform can be very beneficial. When they log in to cancerGo, they realize they are part of a community in their fight against cancer. Confusion, loneliness, and lack of access to information about how best to fight back against this life-threatening illness.” no longer stand in the way.

Support organizations on cancerGO network

The support for people with cancers is not limited to emotional support, financial worries, and information about the disease on cancerGo. Support groups within cancerGo focus on all cancer types, while other support groups are tailored to a specific cancer subtype. These blogs are regularly updated by a team of experts who provide valuable insights into all types of cancers and chat rooms designed specifically for those living through it mentally or physically; cancerGo offers an opportunity to meet other patients just like yourself!

In addition, there are also videos on various cancer-related topics like should I move back home after being diagnosed? What does prolonged vomiting entail – one might ask, and much more.

At first, you may feel like you do not belong in a support group. That is normal. It takes time to get comfortable sharing your feelings with strangers. Stick with it, and you will likely find that the support group becomes an integral part of your cancer journey.

With its personal touch and unique approach, “cancerGo” is a vital, interactive resource for people affected by cancer. Our mission is to put patients and survivors at the center of their care, support them through their journey, and empower them to take control of their lives!
