This presentation explores how survivors can find meaning and purpose after cancer, transplant, CAR T, and chronic GVHD. Drs. El-Jawahri and Traeger discuss how reflection, personal strengths, values, and meaningful connections can help survivors make sense of their experiences and move forward.

Even when cancer treatment is initially successful, many patients experience a fear of recurrence of their illness. This presentation discusses the causes of such fears, and coping strategies that survivors can use to manage them.

This presentation discusses psychosocial challenges that can arise before, during and after a bone marrow/stem cell transplant or CAR T-cell therapy, strategies to manage them, resources that can help, and when to consult a mental health professional.

Many transplant recipients experience distress, anxiety, depression and/or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after transplant. This presentation discusses how to develop coping strategies and resilience to bounce back and experience emotional growth after transplant.

Recovering from a transplant poses many challenges for a patient’s personal relationships with spouses, partners, family members, and friends. While they may wish for a return to “normal,” this may not be possible and new standards for “normal” may emerge. This presentation offers strategies for navigating these changing relationships and fostering positive outcomes.
