Cancer survivorship implies that the cancer has been treated and the survivor can return to his or her precancer life. The term fails to acknowledge the radical change to the person's mind, body, and spirit, nor does it address the diminished quality of life that can occur secondary to treatment. The survivorship struggle is often overlooked as public interests lies only in "success stories."
癌症 survivorship 意味着癌症已得到治疗,幸存者能够回归到患癌前的生活。这个术语没有认识到患者在心理、身体和精神上所经历的巨大变化,也没有涉及到因治疗而可能出现的生活质量下降问题。由于公众的关注点仅在于“成功案例”,幸存者的挣扎往往被忽视。
