Back to work after cancer

A long absence from work may require support, flexibility and rehabilitation. The best results come from cooperation between the employer, employee and occupational health service.

Cancer and sexuality

Being diagnosed with cancer can affect your sexuality in many ways. These effects are always individual and situation-specific.

After cancer

Yhä useampi syövän sairastanut voi palata hoitojen jälkeen normaaliin elämään. Sairauden läpikäyminen vie oman aikansa. Syöpähoitojen loputtua on parasta ottaa rauhallisesti ja kerätä voimia.

For family and friends

Syöpä on kova isku paitsi sairastuneelle myös hänen läheiselleen. Sairastumisen myötä läheiset joutuvat käsittelemään suhdettaan sairauteen ja sairastuneeseen.
