Survivorship

Survivorship is a Journey, Not a Destination

n 2022, 80 percent of children diagnosed with cancer will be cured, though many may experience long-term complications from therapy. These late effects can be predicted based on prior treatments and fall into four categories: growth and development, sensory and organ function, hormonal issues, and secondary malignancies. Psychosocial impacts include anxiety, depression, insurability, education, employment, substance abuse, and reduced quality of life.

Our survivorship program provides personalized treatment summaries and care plans, promoting health through exercise, nutrition, weight management, and lifestyle choices. Walking Miracles supports survivors with tablets that offer:

  • Online patient education resources and hotel links
  • Preloaded apps, including Zoom, MY Chart, and Uber
  • The Reimagine Well platform for chemo sessions
  • Wi-Fi, video calling, email, contact storage
  • Medication management and connection to navigators

Recipients get tutorials on tablet features. Our nurse navigator can provide personalized education, connect you to survivorship clinics, and help communicate the need for a Survivorship Plan detailing treatment effects and long-term expectations. She empowers survivors to advocate for themselves with primary care doctors about long-term side effects, click here to learn more.
