June 2012 Article

Friday is Celebrate Life at CTCA- Midwestern, and with that in mind, our
June article is about Cancer Survivorship .  This article is hopeful, and shows that long term survivorship is on the rise.  I hope everyone is able to participate in the celebration by either meeting a survivor, or by rekindling a past relationship with someone who has been helped by our organization.

Questions
  1. What are some of the physical problems cancer survivors may suffer from after their treatment has ended?  What are some of the emotional problems that come with survivorship?                                
     2.  Why do you think that breast cancer has  such a high survival rate?
          Why do you think cancer of the pancreas has such a low survival rate?  

     3.  What resources are available to cancer survivors nationally, and
          at our hospital?    


Extra Credit!  As promised, here is an extra credit article to read and review.

    Edit Nancy said... Patients respond when they are unable to answer questions or remember "Oh, it is my chemobrain". I think they can cope by making lists, and using support of their significant others. I also, think they can use things to keep their brain stimulated such as word puzzles in local papers. I try not to make them feel insecure.
