"So You Had Cancer, Now What? Navigating Life After Treatment"

The end of cancer treatment often comes with mixed emotions. While there's relief in finishing, many cancer survivors face a whole new set of challenges in adjusting to life after treatment. In this episode, Jes, a cancer survivor, and Den, a nurse with deep ties to the cancer community, discuss the emotional, mental, and physical shifts that come after active treatment ends. They dive into the pressure to "move on" and how to navigate the feelings of guilt, fear, and the struggle to return to "normal." With a focus on self-compassion, creating a new normal, and finding the support you need, they offer advice for those still adjusting to life post-cancer. Plus, they highlight resources like the Support Circle at morethanadiagnosis.org, where listeners can find community and support.
