Cancer Transitions

Welcome to Cancer Transitions: Moving Beyond Treatment™. Cancer Transitions is an evidence-based program for survivors of any cancer diagnosis who have completed treatment within the last 24 months. The program covers the benefits of exercise, nutrition, emotional support, and medical management—core issues for cancer survivors.


This program is designed to help redefine how we live our lives from this point forward.  It is offered in face-to-face groups across the country (click here to find a location) and here online.  We will be using The Cancer Transitions: Moving Beyond Treatment™ workbook, and the Facing Forward: Life After Cancer Treatment booklet from the NCI to guide discussion.


In the online version, once you've registered, each week you will be able to view at your leisure an online lecture focusing on a specific skill set and topic.  Participants will also meet online each week to discuss the topic.  Exercise should be incorporated into each week, and you can use the video provided online.  There is also a "booster session" one month post-program.



Cancer Transitions
was developed in 2006 by the Cancer Support Community and LIVESTRONG to support and empower survivors as they transition from active treatment to post-treatment. Our research shows that both men and women who participate can experience:

  1. Less worry about the negative impacts of cancer
  2. Better physical and social functioning
  3. More commitment to physical activity
  4. Improvements in fat related dietary habits
