Senfølgerforeningen

Senfølgerforeningen is a Danish association dedicated to ensuring that no one faces the lasting effects of cancer alone and that more people can enjoy a good life during and after cancer. It supports people living with cancer-related late effects, their families and caregivers, while also engaging volunteers and healthcare professionals.

The association provides information about late effects and practical guidance on finding help. Its support includes access to a social worker, sexologist and psychological counsellor, as well as a telephone helpline and expert answers to personal questions. Members can connect through local groups, shared experiences and community activities. Senfølgerforeningen also hosts online guidance sessions on topics such as fear of recurrence, pain, lymphedema, scarring, cognitive difficulties and sexual health.

Alongside its support services, the association shares personal stories, publishes news and organizes events, including an annual meeting and National Late Effects Day. It also invites people to take part in research studies and works to raise awareness of cancer-related late effects and specialized support options across Denmark.
