From Cancer Patient to Cancer Survivor: Lost in Transition (IOM)
•
Cancer is often a chronic condition, but is not treated as one.
•
When treatment ends, most cancer survivors do not have a follow-up care plan or
treatment summary.
•
Surviving cancer is something to celebrate, but it is not the end of the road.
•
Cancer changes your life forever, and it also changes your healthcare needs forever.
