Conclusion

[Narrator]

In conclusion, cancer is a common problem for many older people, but simply being older should not add to the burden of the disease. This audio program has focused on issues that have special meaning for older cancer survivors. Don't forget to look in the accompanying booklet for important telephone numbers and Internet addresses for additional resources to help you. The six Basic Skills audio program of the Cancer Survival Toolbox also have many ideas and suggestions for improving your skills in becoming your own best advocate. We encourage you to listen to these audio programs and practice -- and use -- the skills that they cover.
