Abstract
L Blanchard, a young survivor, was diagnosed with and treated for early-stage breast cancer. After undergoing years of treatment, including ongoing endocrine therapy, Leanna describes the emotional journey of pregnancy planning and loss after breast cancer. She describes a range of struggles, including fears of recurrence as she considers therapy breaks to pursue family planning. She also describes a myriad of emotions related to pregnancy losses after a cancer diagnosis. Through all these challenges, Leanna has continued to work in physical therapy and support other individuals recovering after a cancer diagnosis.Implications for Cancer Survivors Adolescent and young adult cancer survivors may face unique challenges related to fertility and family planning after cancer diagnosis and treatment. Survivors should be offered counseling on fertility and family planning options at the time of diagnosis and should be provided ongoing support in these areas throughout their treatment and survivorship experience.
期刊介绍：
Cancer survivorship is a worldwide concern. The aim of this multidisciplinary journal is to provide a global forum for new knowledge related to cancer survivorship. The journal publishes peer-reviewed papers relevant to improving the understanding, prevention, and management of the multiple areas related to cancer survivorship that can affect quality of care, access to care, longevity, and quality of life. It is a forum for research on humans (both laboratory and clinical), clinical studies, systematic and meta-analytic literature reviews, policy studies, and in rare situations case studies as long as they provide a new observation that should be followed up on to improve outcomes related to cancer survivors. Published articles represent a broad range of fields including oncology, primary care, physical medicine and rehabilitation, many other medical and nursing specialties, nursing, health services research, physical and occupational therapy, public health, behavioral medicine, psychology, social work, evidence-based policy, health economics, biobehavioral mechanisms, and qualitative analyses. The journal focuses exclusively on adult cancer survivors, young adult cancer survivors, and childhood cancer survivors who are young adults. Submissions must target those diagnosed with and treated for cancer.
