Cancer Survivorship
A message supported by a grant from the Lance Armstrong Foundation
Some people believe that having cancer means they will die, but that is not
always true. Many people live long, healthy lives after they have cancer treatment.
And scientists expect the number of cancer survivors to increase over the coming
years. Improvements in screening tests (examinations that look for cancer early
before symptoms), early detection (finding the cancer early when it is smaller
and not causing any problems), and cancer treatment are things that allow more
people to live following cancer each year. One very important part of surviving
cancer is finding it early. The earlier the disease is diagnosed, the better
chances are for living a long life following a cancer. So, talk with your doctor
about screening tests, and ask about the warning signs of different types of
cancer. Remember, it is possible to survive cancer!
