Supporting your journey beyond a cancer diagnosis
Bridging treatment with long-term survivorship
The National Cancer Institute Office of Cancer Survivorship considers an individual a survivor from the time of diagnosis through the balance of his or her life. To better understand the challenges people face after a cancer diagnosis, Georgia CORE partnered with the Georgia Cancer Control Consortium to conduct a statewide survivorship needs assessment. The findings are helping shape future education, resources, and support for cancer survivors across Georgia.
Here's what Georgia's survivors shared:
