Dr Mary Reid - Roswell Park Cancer Institute, USA

Dr Mary Reid talks to ecancer at II Congreso oncológico ecancer-Liga Colombiana contra el Cáncer 2018 in Bogotá, Colombia.

She describes her survivorship program which aims to improve the lives of people with, and after cancer.

Dr Reid emphasises importance of dispelling the myth that you revert to your previous self after cancer, and that it is a time of change, and to view this as a potentially positive switch.

She highlights some of the help offered by the centre, including screening programs, and important personal conversations which patients otherwise might not get.
