An Observation
After months or even years of actively fighting cancer treatment (surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy...), post-cancer (post-cancer) is always a difficult stage for patients:
- A difficult return to normal life (fatigue, feeling of isolation, feeling of depression, abandonment, etc.)
- A clear deterioration in the quality of life (anxiety, sleep disorder, etc.) when the heavy treatments (chemo, radiotherapy, etc.) are finished.
- Pervasive collateral damage: many patients have gained weight due to chemotherapy on the one hand and lack of exercise on the other, others struggle to reclaim their bodies...
In parallel
