CANSA Marks Cancer Survivors’ Month by Focusing on Life Beyond Treatment

June is recognised globally as International Cancer Survivors Month which provides the opportunity to recognise cancer survivors living in South Africa and to highlight the often-overlooked emotional, physical, financial and practical realities that can continue long after diagnosis and treatment. For many people, the end of active treatment is not the end of the impact that cancer has had on their lives. Survivors may continue to live with fatigue, anxiety, fear of recurrence, body image changes, relationship strain, financial pressure, workplace challenges, long-term side effects and the emotional impact of having faced a life-threatening illness. This is why survivor support must be seen as an essential part of cancer care…

Podcast: On the CANSA Couch – Healthy Choices, Trusted Partnerships & Smarter Eating

For this podcast we are joined by one of CANSA’s longest-standing partners, Southern Oil, the manufacturers of the B-well range — a brand many South Africans know and trust. B-well is the first mayonnaise range to receive the CANSA Smart Choice Seal in the edible category.

Human Rights and Cancer in the Workplace

A cancer diagnosis impacts far more than physical health—it can affect a person’s dignity, livelihood, financial stability, family life, and sense of self. In this context, workplaces play a crucial role: they can either foster support and healing or, unintentionally, contribute to additional challenges.

CANSA has developed this guide to assist both employers and employees in navigating cancer in the workplace with empathy, fairness, and a strong commitment to human rights.
