Life after cancer treatment

Cancer affects different people in different ways.

You may have felt all sorts of emotions – anger, shock, fear and uncertainty are all of which are very common. On some days you may feel positive about your treatment and the future – at other times, less so.

You are an individual - there is no right or wrong way to feel. Finishing your treatment may bring further mixed emotions.

You're probably pleased and relieved that months of treatment are now over. You may be looking forward to going back to work, taking a holiday or having more energy to do things with your family and friends.

On the other hand, you may be worried that your cancer will return.

This part of our website offers ideas for further reading for those who have finished their cancer treatment and are now ready to move forward with their lives.
