The program sponsors write,

After surviving cancer, you are left with many questions about self-identity.Who was I?Who am I?Where am I going? Although you may feel that you are ready to put the cancer behind you, it is possible that your emotional recovery may be just beginning. Navigating through life after cancer can be difficult, specifically from a physical, psychological, financial and spiritual perspective. Understanding your options to follow-up care is important in helping you navigate toward a “new normal” in your life after cancer
