Survivorship
Cancer can change your life in unexpected ways. You may need to understand side effects, take part in physical therapy, or seek additional support to manage the emotional impact cancer has had on your life.
Recovery takes time and you do not have to experience it alone. Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center is here to help you thrive after cancer treatment and to provide continuing recovery and follow-up support for years to come.
Fred Hutch Offers Help With After Effects of Your Cancer and Treatment
Fred Hutch offers screenings, prevention recommendations and help with after effects of your cancer and treatment.
We encourage you to participate in one of our follow-up programs for cancer survivors. While your cancer may be cured, there may be long-term effects from it or its treatment. As a survivor, you are at higher risk for a secondary cancer; Fred Hutch can help you manage that risk.
