After a cancer diagnosis and treatment, it takes time to adjust to a “new normal”. Getting Back on Track can assist you in:
- understanding what to expect after treatment and
- how to cope through this time.
The Getting Back on Track session is open to patients and caregivers. It is best to attend when your treatment is complete.
The experience of cancer has an impact on patients and caregivers. The Getting Back on Track session provides an opportunity to review the effects that cancer
has had on your life. It also helps you explore new ways of coping and adapting to life after treatment.
