When Symptoms Are Part of Your New Normal

Shawna Kraft, Pharm.D.
Cancer often creates a new normal for your life. Physical changes can occur as a result of surgery or treatment. Emotional changes may occur too, such as worry about progression or recurrence.
First, recognize your new normal and know that it is understandable to feel different.
Second, talk with your providers about what this new normal is for you. Some symptoms may last well beyond your last treatment.
