Book excerpt: For patients with cancer and their healthcare team, the ringing of the bell is a significant moment a point in time that signals the end of active treatment and the beginning of a life free of cancer. What happens, though, to the patient with cancer after the bell has rung? Anne Katz, in her latest book from Hygeia Media, explores what happens next for those who have survived cancer. While life as a cancer survivor can be complicated, Katz breaks down 10 challenges often faced by survivors including health worries, depression, fatigue, nutrition, and the long-term effects of cancer treatment. Written in an accessible style, After You Ring the Bell is a book that members of a healthcare team can share with their patients with cancer and their families.
