I'm discharched to survivor care in all but 1 of the three oncology divisions that had to get a piece of the action (still active follow-up in Radiology at least through March). {

We don't need terror about ability to get care, packed on to all of the emotional baggage that is inherent in getting through the cancer.

On a side note - I hate the term "survivor" - it implies a finality that is not reality once you have cancer - you have never "survived it" in the sense that it is over and in your past. I use the term NED (no evidence of disease). So I've been NED for about a month. Not on Medicare yet - but soon enough.
