Even after cancer treatment ends, the fear that it might return can feel heavy and persistent. Join Karen Sheinkopf, LCSW and Dr. Michael Shusterman to learn ways you can navigate the emotional challenges of life after diagnosis and how to find support, hope and meaning in survivorship. This talk will highlight how to cope with fear of recurrence – focusing on how it can impact your daily life and offering practical strategies to manage uncertainty. They’ll also discuss “scanxiety” — the stress and worry around follow-up scans—and how it can affect your health and well-being, even years after remission.
