After the All-Clear: Cancer Survivorship Stories

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts map survivorship: the abrupt exit from the structure of active treatment, the loss of a medical team that had become a weekly fixture, and the disorientation of being told to go and live now. Writers describe follow-up scans and the specific dread they carry, the late effects that arrive months or years later — fatigue, neuropathy, lymphoedema, early menopause, cognitive fog, cardiac and fertility consequences — and the mismatch between how recovered you look and how recovered you feel. There are careers restarted and abandoned, relationships that could not survive the aftermath, survivor guilt in support groups, and the quiet rebuilding of a body that carries evidence of what it went through. Later chapters hold recurrences and second primaries, told without flinching.

Who it's for

For anyone finishing cancer treatment, the families who expected relief and found something more complicated, and clinicians who want to understand what happens after discharge.
