Introduction: This article deals with an innovative approach to cancer patient care by introducing the concept of ‘Cancer Survivorship’ which focuses on patient coping strategies that emphasizes quality of life skills as opposed to the traditional concept of ‘Survival’ - the time construct used in describing patient outcome.
Methods and result: We describe the rationale and basis for the Survivorship program and follow a very personal description of the Survivorship experience of an actual patient who presents her own perspective after completing the program.
Conclusion: This patient’s perspectives on the Survivorship program reflects the reactions and responses to this program by the patient participants. That the program be implemented as an integral part of cancer patient care is strongly recommended.

Keywords:Cancer survival; Cancer survivorship; Breast cancer outcome; Cancer patient quality of life
