## Resource

Everyone talks about surviving cancer. Nobody talks about what comes after. In this episode, Jen gets honest about the emotional, physical, and identity shifts that happen when treatment ends — and why finishing treatment didn't feel like the finish line everyone said it was. If you've ever felt like you were expected to just be grateful and move on — this episode is for you. What You'll Hear in This Episode: Why the day treatment ends can feel like the hardest day — not the best one What the "survivorship cliff" is and why so many women fall off it silently The research-backed truth about scanxiety — and why it doesn't get easier with time How to grieve the woman you were before cancer without guilt Why "you're so strong" can be the most isolating thing someone says to you The non-toxic living shifts and integrative health habits Jen added when the appointments stopped A permission slip for every woman who isn't fine — even years later Stats Referenced in This Episode: Nearly 50% of women with breast cancer experience depression, anxiety, or both in the first year after diagnosis — British Medical Journal Between 1 in 3 and 2 in 3 cancer survivors experience moderate to severe scanxiety — and research shows it does not fade with time — Psycho-Oncology Journal 1 in 4 cancer patients will experience clinical depression — American Cancer Society Connect With Jen: Instagram: @jendelvaux Join the Not Today Cancer Inner Circle: JOIN HERE Join the FREE Not Today Cancer here: REQUEST TO JOIN HERE Learn more: My WEBSITE EMAIL ME: jen@jendelvaux.com Leave a Review: If this episode gave you something today, a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts takes 30 seconds and helps more women find this show.
