Cancer survivorship

How amazing to bring in the new year with some research that highlights how little is known about cancer survivor ship. If you visit the BBC web site at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/8429995.stm you will see the article on 'Cancer survivors 'facing neglect'. In my view this is a long time coming as so many people suffer various health issues after treatment ceases and don't know whats going on! I know that so many people simply 'put up & shut up' with many of the short and long term side effects of cancer treatment, often thinking they are ungrateful to help seek or complain. It does not have to be like this. I am optimistic that such publications will stimulate discussions and more research that will begin to seriously consider the impact of cancer treatment as people survive longer. Comments welcome.
