For cancer survivors, the end of treatment does not mean that the experience is all over; rather, it is simply when the healing process can begin, a quiet path that many women with breast cancer decide to keep private and walk alone, and that many of us are unaware of. Although many cancer centres offer psychological support, support groups, and coping programmes for women during treatment, the need to come to terms with changes in their bodies in the post-treatment stage is more of a self-led project.

Abstract

For cancer survivors, the end of treatment does not mean that the experience is all over; rather, it is simply when the healing process can begin, a quiet path that many women with breast cancer decide to keep private and walk alone, and that many of us are unaware of. Although many cancer centres offer psychological support, support groups, and coping programmes for women during treatment, the need to come to terms with changes in their bodies in the post-treatment stage is more of a self-led project.
