Why do scans and follow-up visits trigger such intense stress and anxiety?

Finishing cancer treatment is supposed to feel like a relief. Yet many survivors find this phase emotionally harder than expected and are surprised by the fear and anxiety that can surface long after treatment ends.

In Episode 2 of our survivorship podcast series, Lifestyle and Integrative Medicine Physician Dr. Kathleen Findlay explains why emotions often intensify after treatment, why "scanxiety" is so common, and how simple daily habits can help calm the body's stress response and support healing.

🎧 Listen and learn practical strategies to navigate life after cancer with greater confidence and peace of mind.

What happens after cancer treatment ends? Finishing treatment is supposed to feel like relief - but many survivors say it is one of the hardest parts. While treatment may be over, the physical, emotional, and practical challenges of survivorship are often just beginning.

That is why the Cancer Center of Western Wisconsin is launching a new 6-episode podcast series dedicated to cancer survivorship. Through expert conversations, we will explore topics such as emotional well-being, nutrition, follow-up care, healthy lifestyle habits, and navigating life after cancer.

Treatment may end, but care doesn't.
In Episode 1, Oncology Advanced Practice Clinician Stephanie Kroon, PA-C, discusses what survivorship care really means, why follow-up care matters, and how survivors can continue to thrive long after treatment ends.

🎧 Listen now and join us as we explore life beyond cancer treatment.
