Survivorship/Life After Treatment

"Cancer doesn't end at remission. Even though it's been 8 years it's still so fresh and raw and I don't think those feelings are ever going to go away. As a result of my cancer, health services will always be a big part of my life. The fear of cancer returning is also always going to be there."
