Thank you for sharing in the Celebrating-Survivorship community and supporting our dedication to improving quality of life for cancer survivors!
There are hundreds of different side effects that cancer survivors may experience as a result of treatment, including hair loss, fatigue, and significant weight fluctuation. But, most cancer treatment focuses heavily on surviving the disease and not on equipping patients to deal with the temporary and permanent side effects of treatment.
Many survivors are embarrassed or ashamed to ask for help, feeling that they should just be grateful to be alive, so they do not talk to others about the side effects or challenges they may be experiencing. By contributing your experience on Celebrating-Survivorship.com you made a difference in helping others through this difficult and confusing time and to allow those who have lived through the experience the opportunity to pass on what they have learned.
