When you began your cancer treatment, you couldn't wait for the day you'd finish. But now that you've completed your treatment, you aren't sure if you're ready for life after treatment as a cancer survivor.

With your treatment completed, you'll likely see your cancer care team less often. Though you, your friends and your family are all eager to return to a more typical life, it can be scary. You might worry about meeting less often with the health care providers who supported you through your care.

Everything you're feeling right now is typical for cancer survivors. Recovering from cancer treatment isn't just about your body. It's also about healing your mind.

Take time to acknowledge the fear, grief and sense of isolation you might be feeling right now. Then take steps to understand why you feel these emotions and what you can do about them.
