Hi all,
I was reading the Wellspring Canada online newsletter and was intrigued by this article about a program called "Fear of Recurrence Therapy" (FORT) which is helping cancer survivors confront the fear and move forward. As we all know too well, the end of treatment does not mean the end of fear. The final chemotherapy session or last radiation appointment may mark a medical milestone, but emotionally, a new chapter often begins - one filled with uncertainty, anxiety, and a lingering question: what if the cancer comes back?
Co-developed by Christine Maheu, associate professor at McGill's Ingram School of Nursing and researcher at the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC), and University of Ottawa researcher Sophie Lebel, FORT addresses what many experts now describe as a major blind spot in cancer care: emotional recovery after treatment ends.
See the news article below. I'm curious if any Teal Sisters has had an opportunity to partake in the program? 🩵 I did go to the Wellspring Canada site and there is a long wait list. I tried to 'register' for the waitlist however it wouldn't let me for some reason.😗
