Cancer Survivorship Series

After cancer, what happens next?

The end of cancer treatment is a turning point when many patients begin their new lives as a cancer survivor. For some, this means dealing with physical, psychological and social changes. The specialists at the Christiana Care Helen F. Graham Cancer Center designed the Life After Cancer series to help you understand this new normal� and develop the skills to adapt and thrive throughout this next phase of your life.

If you or someone you love is a cancer survivor, Life After Cancer offers some thoughtful and constructive ways to meet the challenges ahead. We also invite co-survivors, those who support cancer survivors, to these programs. Co-survivors can be a positive influence on the emotional and physical well-being of those who have recently completed cancer treatment.
