Living with and beyond cancer isn’t easy.
Your treatment has finished, appointments have come to an end, yet you don’t feel like you used to.
Friends and family may expect you to ‘get back to normal’ but everything has changed.
Where can you go to for support, and why do you feel so isolated?
Patients often describe this stage as like ‘falling off a cliff’.
West Yorkshire and Harrogate Cancer Alliance provided funding to allow Yorkshire Cancer Community and healthcare professionals from across the region to create videos to help share expertise and experiences.
The videos were launched at a screening at Cineworld White Rose Leeds where patients and healthcare professionals were given the red carpet treatment and able to see their stories come to life on the big screen.
