Get information about life as a cancer survivor, next steps, and what you can do to help.
Living as a Cancer Survivor
For many people, cancer treatment often leads to questions about the next steps as a survivor or about the chances of the cancer coming back.
Living as a Colorectal Cancer Survivor
For many people with colorectal cancer, treatment can remove or destroy the cancer. The end of treatment can be both stressful and exciting. You’ll be relieved to finish treatment, yet it’s hard not to worry about cancer coming back. This is very common if you’ve had cancer.
For other people, colorectal cancer may never go away completely. Some people may get regular treatment with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or other treatments to try to help keep the cancer in check. Learning to live with cancer that does not go away can be difficult and very stressful.
Life after colorectal cancer means returning to some familiar things and also making some new choices.
