Starting life after cancer can feel daunting and you may be unsure what your life will look like. It can be a time of uncertainty and you may have experienced a change in your career or homelife since your diagnosis. We have gathered information in this section to help guide you through this next chapter in your life.

Ways we can help

In this section of My Light there is information on maintaining your wellbeing and managing stress and anxiety. The next section on My Light is for if you are caring for someone who has been affected by cancer. If this applies to you just update the link on your sign-in page to “How to care for yourself as a carer” You will find information there about treatment side effects and how to manage your own wellbeing.
