This is one of the tricky things -that with more survivorship (for lack of a better term) and not so much research on post-cancer treatment life (or even examples of how to live post treatment) there is a gap, to say the least... and I suspect that the oncology world tend to go along the lines of: you no long have evidence of disease so you are all good, as I have read :the side effects and risks outweigh he immediate course of treatment". Also, since in general there is less focus on specifically young people, it seems there is not a lot of research about the long term effects of cancer treatment when done as a young person.<br />Oh Yes, BTW, I never did thank you for sending me a copy of your book - which was a good read, and I really appreciated how you put yourself out in print. If you find yourself in Toronto, let me know.<br />~KellyKelly Thorarinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747874894598533461noreply@blogger.com
