SUMMARY:2017 Cancer Survivorship Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Helping Cancer Survivors on Their Journeys\nI’m excited to be attending the second annual conference on cancer survivorship. There are more than 12 million cancer survivors living in the United States and this symposium is the beginning of a more active focus on support for cancer survivors after they complete their treatment. \nGeneral sessions will focus on… \n\nGenetic findings in survivorship\nCommunity-based models of survivorship care\nProfessional society support\, and\nInsights of health care providers on coping with cancer\n\nCancer Survivorship Needs More Focus\nI attended the inaugural Suvivorship Symposium in 2016 and learned a great deal. I’m certain this year will be even better. \nOne of the great needs for cancer survivors is a detailed survivorship plan that details the things that need to be done to maximize survivorship changes and have the best possible quality of life. \nA survivorship plan should contain a complete record of a patient’s cancer history and recommendations for follow-up care. The plan also should define the responsibilities of all care providers that will participate – cancer-related\, non-cancer-related\, psychosocial providers – and the cancer patients themselves. \nHaving a plan like this clearly shows who is responsible for the various aspects of care can optimize care coordination\, avoids unnecessary use of resources\, and ensures that care does not “fall through the cracks.” \nPatients should have copy of their care plan that they can share with their primary care providers and other healthcare providers throughout life. \nJust as important\, every cancer survivor should have what I call my personal cancer battle plan. In my case\, it includes three elements: mental outlook\, a structured exercise program\, and a nutritional element designed to keep my weight in check. One of our goals here at the Cancer Journeys Foundation is to create a cancer battle plan template that survivors can use to create and implement their personal plans. \nI would enjoy connecting with other cancer survivors and advocates who will be attending this year’s Cancer Suvivorship Symposium. I’m very interested in the challenges cancer survivors are facing and what practical steps we can take to support them after treatment. \nYou can reach me by email at Robert.Hess @ CancerJourneysFoundation.org or through our vCita popup window here on the website. \nRobert \nCJF Founder Robert Hess
