Cancer Survivorship and AgrAbility More and more people are living long and fruitful lives post cancer diagnosis. As the farmer population continues to age, more and more farm families are at risk for a cancer diagnosis. Research and clinical outcomes have shown that cancer survivors may have higher risks of certain secondary conditions due to either their cancer or their treatment. All of these factors combine to provide opportunities for AgrAbility to provide useful support and education to cancer survivors. In this session, the audience will learn about the most up-to-date research findings related to long term outcomes for cancer survivors. Concrete examples, through case studies, of a variety of ways AgrAbility services benefit these survivors and their families will also be given. It is important for AgrAbility providers to understand some of the issues specific to cancer survivors as they will most likely see more survivor clients in the future.
