There are now more than 12 million people who have survived cancer in the United States and many are moving on with a full life. Better, evidence-based treatments, support and empowerment programs for patients and families all make a difference but survivors face a myriad of physical, emotional, social, mental, medical and sexual issues. Today, more is known and more is being talked about these challenges. More health care experts are starting to pay attention to these issues in a focused and coordinated way. Make Patient Power your source for staying in-the-know about living as a cancer survivor.
