Although it is true that the number of detected cases is growing, it is also true that, thanks to <strong>early diagnosis<\/strong> and medical, technical and scientific advances, there has been a significant <strong>increase in the five-year survival rate.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Once treatment is complete, <strong>returning to a daily routine can be challenging<\/strong> and a little overwhelming. As Cinthya Molina, psychologist at SHA, says, \u201ca <strong>process of adaptation to a new normal<\/strong> begins, and while it may seem simple and full of joy, it can also be slow and provoke some fears. It is important <strong>to reflect on what has happened<\/strong> because, during treatment, <strong>emotions<\/strong> come one after another and stopping to address them helps people to integrate them, reinterpret them and fit them into their lives. It\u2019s then that you realise that life isn\u2019t the same as where you left it, but that it has continued to move forward. During treatment, <strong>all roles <\/strong>(family, social, work)<strong> are abandoned<\/strong>, but when treatment ends, the person has changed and, therefore, so have the roles. This is the so-called <strong>post-traumatic growth<\/strong>, which consists of a <strong>change in values and priorities<\/strong> as a consequence of having faced the frightening reality of the <strong>unpredictability of life and the management of uncertainty<\/strong>. This causes the person to embark on projects they never thought they would undertake, such as changing jobs, and which, before the illness, they probably wouldn\u2019t have had the courage to do. This <strong>new era is faced with great enthusiasm<\/strong>, but at the same time it is not free of fears that need to be managed. That is precisely what <strong>being resilient<\/strong> is all about, taking advantage of life\u2019s difficult moments to make the most of them and emerge from them empowered\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>To make the process of adapting to the new normal more bearable, Cinthya recommends \u201c<strong>living in the present<\/strong>, the here and now, spending more time with your loved ones and <strong>talking about your feelings<\/strong>. Cancer is often like a sieve that separates the good relationships from the bad ones. In addition, it is very important to <strong>improve self-care<\/strong>: take care of your diet, sleep and rest, get physical exercise, have good mental hygiene and maintain a <strong>proactive attitude<\/strong>, respecting one\u2019s own rhythm. In other words, <strong>translating the changes<\/strong> you\u2019ve been planning <strong>into action<\/strong>. In short, and despite the difficulties, it is possible to return to normal life after having beat cancer. Perhaps not the same as before, but <strong>even better\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once treatment is over, the process of readapting to your daily routine begins &#8211; this can exciting and also full of uncertainty.
