Even though I survived cancer, will I feel differently
physically?
Cancer treatment has a different effect on everyone, and
for some survivors, there are serious side effects from
treatment. Providers need to educate patients and make
them aware of the possible short and long term effect that
may arise. Radiation could affect a person’s heart, stamina,
or fertility. Patients may feel overly anxious or
depressed about the possibility of getting cancer again.
You should ask your doctor how treatment could affect
your long-term health and mental functioning.
