Do you recognize these symptoms?
Living with cancer or recovering from a treatment process can have a significant impact on your body, emotions, and daily functioning. Whether you are in the middle of a treatment period or further along in your recovery process, the impact of cancer often extends beyond the medical side alone.
Many people experience changes in their energy, physical capacity, and emotional well-being. In addition, uncertainty, tension, and questions about the future can play a significant role.

You may notice that your body feels different than before, or that you expend a lot of energy processing everything you have been through. For many people, this is a recognizable part of living with or after cancer.
