Getting a cancer diagnosis can be devastating.  You can feel like the rest of your life is put on hold while you tackle treatment.. but what happens when treatment stops (or moves into a maintenance phase)?  You've become a Cancer Survivor but now what?

Oncologist Dr Michael Jefford from Peter MacCallum Cancer hospital has helped to found the Australian Cancer Survivorship Center (ACSC).  The Center aims to optimize the health and well-being of cancer survivors and their carers.  Dr Karolina Lisy(PhD) is a researcher at the Survivorship Center looking at how treatment can be optimized for all cancer patients no matter what their background.

In this Cancer Survivor Guide podcast you'll hear how ACSC provides information to survivors and their health carers about the best wellness pathways after cancer treatment and the research that's being done to make sure treatment gives the very best survivorship outcomes.
