Childhood Cancer International – Europe shared a post on LinkedIn:
“When people think about childhood cancer, they often think the challenges end when treatment does. But not everything goes away when cancer does.
Some survivors live with visible late effects such as hearing loss, mobility challenges, vision impairment, scarring, or other long-term health conditions. But late effects do not define a person’s abilities, ambitions, or future.
There is no single way for a life after cancer. For some, visible late effects mean needing accommodations or ongoing support. Everybody might be facing different challenges. All experiences are valid.
Greater understanding helps ensure survivors receive the support they need at school, at work, and in everyday life.
Learn more about visible late effects and long term follow up care.”
