Cancer survivorship begins with diagnosis and many patients continue to experience personal fears, family concerns, financial worries and medical treatments. Onward: The Survivorship Journey, an oncology survivorship program at Baylor Scott & White Health brings together a multidisciplinary team of clinical oncology professionals to help patients and their families navigate the cancer journey after treatment ends.
Dying Well - The Final Stage of Survivorship is an informative, supportive, and reassuring program designed to teach you more about your choices and resources and what to expect during this last stage of survival.
La meta de Herramientas para la Supervivencia al Cáncer es ayudarlo a desarrollar técnicas útiles en su vida diaria mientras afronta el diagnóstico y el tratamiento del cáncer. Los miembros de la familia y los encargados del cuidado de la salud también pueden utilizar estas herramientas con un niño o con cualquier otra persona con cáncer.

Most people don’t know that you’re considered a cancer survivor at the moment of diagnosis. It wasn’t always this way. Sixty years ago, a cancer diagnosis was a death sentence. And if you did survive, you were left to figure out the rest of your life on your own. But some survivors demanded something different, something better. From OffScrip Health, this is The Cancer Mavericks, a deep-dive narrative into the people who fought for better treatment, forced doctors to listen, and pushed Ameri ...

A cancer diagnosis sucks no matter what — but factors like income, education, racism, geography, housing, and access to health care, known as "social determinants of health," can worsen the burden.

For decades, the portrayal of cancer in movies and television was grim. If a character was diagnosed with cancer, it was a near certainty they'd be dead by the credits.

Facing a diagnosis of cancer at any age is horrible. But for young adults, it’s just plain different. Not better. Not worse. Different.

By the 1980s, cancer was no longer a death sentence. But the question of what surviving actually meant was unanswered. Cancer survivors had to navigate issues around employment, relationships, and the emotional and physical side effects of treatment in a world that largely didn’t know what to do with them. (and they were still called “victims.”) In…
