Life after cancer.
Many times we celebrate with our patients the last day of their cancer treatment. Often we may commemorate the occasion with a small party, a cake, or a token of some sort. We exchange hugs and well wishes, and, to an observer, it would appear that the last chemotherapy or radiation treatment is an event surrounded by happiness and relief. But for millions of cancer survivors, it's also a time of fear and uncertainty.
