Includes bibliographical references and index. What is the new normal? -- You're a survivor now -- The challenges of being a cancer survivor -- Is the cancer back? -- When will I be happy again? -- What will everyone say? -- What do I feel so tired? -- Where did that feeling go? -- Feeling fit -- What should I be looking for? -- We want to start a family -- Am I losing my mind? -- Surviving and thriving: the new normal -- A blueprint for health -- Resources. With so many people surviving cancer and living "the new normal," guiding survivors and their families through the phases of recovery has become an imperative. But learning to live as a survivor and dealing with both the triumphs and the challenges -- including fear of recurrence, depression, life and occupational stress, the need for surveillance for complications and secondary cancers, sex and relationship issues, diet and exercise for a healthy life -- can be confusing and difficult. Finding resources to help equip survivors and their families for this new phase can be a challenge. Howeve |
