Ways to stay healthy after cancer diagnosis

An individual is considered a cancer survivor from the time of diagnosis through the rest of life. As a result, what being a survivor means to you may change over time. A survivor can be a person who has completed the treatment or living with cancer. 

For those who completed treatment, many say that although they were relieved when it ended, it was hard to transition to a new way of life. For some people, dealing with cancer becomes a way of life. Physical and emotional issues persist for years in some patients. Many are uncertain about how to move forward, feeling anxious about the future. They experience anxiety and fear of their cancer coming back (cancer recurrence). It's okay to feel sad and worried. 

Understand what you can do for your health now, and find out about the services available to you. Doing so can give you a greater sense of control. Even though you can’t control whether or not your cancer recurs, there are steps you can take to help cope with your fears.
