Our findings suggest that providing patient-centred care to colorectal cancer survivors post-treatment involves recognising their changing and sometimes conflicting experiences. Their ability to manage their health may fluctuate and their supportive care needs may not fit with a particular trajectory. Cancer care systems should strive for flexibility in the structure and timing of support available.
