    Following cancer and treatment, there may be problems with practical day-to-day life activities. Some challenges start during treatment and continue after treatment is finished. Others can surface months after treatment is completed, especially if physical and emotional aftereffects also develop.

    Practical aftereffects may include:
    • Difficulty working due to physical or emotional aftereffects
    • Changes in relationships with loved ones, friends, or coworkers
    • Problems getting health or life insurance coverage
    • Challenges communicating concerns to your healthcare team
    • Financial stressors
    • Employment discrimination
