11. Beyond Treatment: The Hidden Challenges of Cancer Survivorship

  • Summary

  • In this episode of Game Over: c*ncer, hosts Val Solomon and Dana Nichols sit down with a clinical psychologist from AdventHealth Orlando, Dr. Carrasco, to discuss the often-overlooked challenges that pediatric cancer survivors face once treatment ends.

    They explore the emotional, physical, and cognitive adjustments children and their families must navigate and how the transition from patient to survivor can be both a relief and a new source of anxiety.

    From dealing with survivor’s guilt to managing social reintegration, this episode offers deep insights into the complexities of life after cancer. Listeners will learn how they can support these young survivors as they find their new normal.
