Following a cancer diagnosis and treatment, oncologists often become the default primary care for patients. Transitioning away from the oncologist to a primary care provider for general healthcare may be challenging at times for patients but may have tremendous benefits. In this episode, we ask young adults with cancer about their experiences transitioning to primary care during or after treatment.

Be sure to stay tuned for the next episode from CancerCon, where we will be hearing from experts who presented on cancer “ghosting”, rediscovering yourself after cancer and mental health.
