What happens after treatment for cancer ends? Jen's and Al's stories illustrate the emotional, physical and educational fall-out from childhood cancer. It is critical that survivors receive long-term follow-up care as they grow into adulthood. Unfortunately, many survivors do not receive the care they need for reasons including inconsistent access to health care and lack of professional training on the part of some caregivers. Survivors may be unaware about long-term health risks and cognitive changes resulting from their cancer treatment. This module frankly, yet sensitively, illustrates how the young cancer survivor's new needs can be met in a variety of ways. CE/CME available for physicians, nurses, case managers, and social workers.
