Cancer Survivors

Finished cancer treatment and ready to move on?

You may find that you see the world differently after cancer. Perhaps you feel that others don't understand your experience and expect you to 'get back to normal'. Cancer and its treatment can bring a host of practical challenges, from changes in appearance and body function to managing the emotional and social impacts.

Come and share your experiences at our online forum specially created for cancer survivors, carers, family, friends and work colleagues. As a participant, you will learn about the possible changes, challenges and opportunities you may face after completing cancer treatment. You will also have the opportunity to connect with others on a similar journey, and share tips, ideas and activities to help you live your life well.

What worries me somewhat is that is the ’second’ issue relating to a tumour/pre-cancer in 12 months. How long is this going to go on for I suppose is like asking how long is a piece of string…
