When you complete cancer treatment, you may wonder, “What’s next?” Survivorship is the personal journey of living with, through and beyond cancer. At Sutter, we offer many special programs and events to help guide you through this new phase of life and put you on the path to wellness.
Living Beyond Cancer Plan
Your oncology care team can work with you to design a road map to organize and keep track of any follow-up treatment, next steps and important information needed to coordinate care among your primary and specialty physicians now and in the future. You’ll also receive assistance for all aspects of your self-care, including nutritional counseling with registered dietitians, psychosocial support with oncology social workers, and complementary therapy programs to restore your well-being.
Healing and Fitness Classes
Explore therapies that interest you under the guidance of staff who will encourage your return to whole health. You’ll also benefit from the camaraderie of others on the same path. Classes offered through Sutter and community partners have included art, gardening, music, photography, writing, yoga, cycling and more.
Survivorship Classes and Events
Many Sutter care centers have classes, luncheons, guest talks and other events for adults who have completed cancer treatment. Certain Sutter sites offer a free, six-week survivorship series. Each session begins with gentle exercises, followed by discussion and support on topics such as getting back to wellness, post-cancer exercise, emotional health and well-being, nutrition, medical management beyond cancer and moving beyond survivorship.
