What life after cancer ?

What life is like after can­cer is a ques­tion that is rare­ly asked. First of all, before I got sick, I always thought that once the treat­ments were over, life would go on in a rela­ti­ve­ly simple way. Howe­ver, it is not by chance that we talk about “long” ill­ness. Indeed, I myself have been ill and under­going treat­ment for 20 months. I have read tes­ti­mo­nies of post-can­cer patients. Whe­ther it is for­mer patients under treat­ment, or the results of very tel­ling stu­dies. I might as well tell you that it is somew­hat anxie­ty-pro­vo­king. All the more so at the idea of kno­wing what awaits me because the treat­ment per­iod is alrea­dy not a sine­cure! I invite you to read this very inter­es­ting article in ” Le Quo­ti­dien du médecin.fr “. I invite you to read this very inter­es­ting article in ” Le Quo­ti­dien du médecin.fr “. When I read that 63% of patients who have had can­cer consi­der that the after-can­cer per­iod is “more dif­fi­cult to live with than the treat­ment per­iod”, it is because there are short­co­mings. When you have been cut off from the world for 2 years, for example in the case of immu­no­de­pres­sion (espe­cial­ly during a glo­bal pan­de­mic), there is the before and after can­cer. It is a real break in a per­son’s life. I can’t ima­gine going back to the pace I was at the day before I went on sick leave. I had 200 emails to pro­cess per day, no real fixed hours to finish the work. Added to that, the speed lin­ked to the media pro­fes­sion, and the live broad­cas­ting to be lived on a dai­ly basis. Des­pite the advances of the third can­cer plan (2014–2019), the fol­low-up of people once the treat­ment is over and the return to “civi­lian life”, it was admit­ted that the efforts made by the public autho­ri­ties had not been suf­fi­cient. Do not hesi­tate to leave your com­ments and to par­ti­ci­pate on the forum of the LEVA web­site, as it is alrea­dy the case here!
