Navigating the time from receiving a life-threatening diagnosis, through treatment, and into the survivorship phase is turbulent and has an immense psychological and physical impact. A common misconception in society is that survivorship is a joyful time that signifies triumph; the end of a long battle won. However, many patients and caregivers report this time is filled with uncertainty, relentless scans, lab tests, appointments, fear, and social-isolation.
This space is intended to provide support throughout survivorship. Online communities work best with more people and shared knowledge. We hope you use this space to tell your story and express your feelings and experiences while encouraging others.
We are happy you are here!
