A cancer diagnosis is one of the hardest things we can face. Most of us have very little time to adjust to the profound life experience of cancer before we are immersed in treatment. We look forward to the day when we'll be done. Everyone in our lives, even our health care providers, expect a celebration and profound relief. But what we call survivorship is much more complicated. All the feelings related to the changes in our identity, our roles and our expectations seem to hit like a ton of bricks.

Cheryl Krauter has been there, and is determined to train providers to meet the needs of this population much better. Join us for a discussion of her new book, Psychosocial Care for Cancer Survivors.
