When cancer treatment ends, many people expect life to return to normal. But that's not always the end of the journey.

This we're recognising the unseen challenges of cancer survivorship. It's a reminder that recovery is about more than physical healing, and that support, understanding and connection remain just as important after treatment.

The word hospice can be frightening. For families who have spent years fighting cancer, pursuing treatments and holding onto hope, accepting palliative or hospice care can feel like giving up.

But support from the Adolescent and Young Adult Hospice at Manly
