“If you have had cancer, you know that treatment is a marathon. It’s one of the hardest things you’ve had to live through..”
Did you go from having expert and intense medical treatment to occasional follow-ups with your GP?
Have you been told to come back if you have a recurrence?
Do you feel confused about what recovery is supposed to look like after cancer treatment ends?
Cancer survivorship is a distinct phase of cancer care that requires its own set of interventions and
assessments.
The time for comprehensive medical treatment has not ended and questions remain to be answered around addressing your cancer related brain fog, managing fatigue, lingering digestive ailments, hormonal symptoms, mental health stressors and fear of recurrence.
Whether your cancer treatment ended recently, or some time ago, a survivorship care plan will help you to live well after cancer. Cancer survivors are full of new and untapped potential. Strategy is the next step. This is a new life. This is the next marathon. There is another bell to ring. You don’t have to feel alone and overwhelmed.
If you, or someone you know, is a cancer survivor looking for a different approach, I offer a
complementary 15-minute phone consult. Let’s talk.
Dr Nicki Marksteiner is an ND and a cancer survivor.
