In this episode we are joined by a panel of adolescent and young adult cancer survivors who have a meaningful conversation about returning to daily routines.
Topics Include:
What are some challenges you faced as you transitioned back to school or work after your cancer treatment?
How do you envision balancing (How have you balanced) your health needs with the demands of your daily routine post-treatment?
Did you experience or encounter stigma regarding your ability to work post diagnosis?
In what ways have things changed for you since your cancer diagnosis? Did you have a new-found career, hobby or passion?
Going back to work after cancer can be challenging. You may be consumed with constant thoughts of what ifs: What if I can’t physically do the work anymore? What if my colleagues don’t view me the same? What if I am treated unfairly? What have you found that works to overcome those thoughts and challenges?
What advice would you give to other young adult cancer patients who are considering returning to school, work or finding a new passion project post-treatment?
