This is a wonderfully empowering tool to place at out disposal. Looking forward to the Global Summit in Ireland later this year. http://beyondbreastcancer.wordpress.com/about/ I am excited to read about this much needed project, as we survivors end up “lost up in transition” post treatment.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004 with my treatment plan finishing in 4 months' time. That is the time I am dreading; feeling like I'll be without medical support again. I will be looking into the survivorship care plan with my doctor. Great idea. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004 with my treatment plan finishing in 4 months’ time.

Having my rectum removed for stage 3b bowel cancer, chemo and radiation left me with many permanent effects usually seen in older patients so there is litttle knowledge here about how things will get worse. Menopause, nerve damage in feet particularly and hip pain at 36 don't make me feel like i'm living. Just existing but glad to be here just the same I’m in UK but will be taking a look out of interest.

They didnt know about all of this back then and there was no counseling or information about these future issues.

I posted about it a couple of weeks ago and it's an amazing tool. I thought I was pretty informed but in a 14 page report, there's something new for everyone to learn. I encourage all survivors to give it a try, it doesn't take long and my poor doctor is going to get a copy so we can review. Just wanted to cheer you on for publicizing this.
