Health after breast cancer
Staying healthy is an important priority for women after treatment for breast cancer.
Once treatment is over, you won’t be seeing health professionals as regularly as you were during treatment. This doesn’t mean you can’t seek advice or ask for help when you need it. No health problem is too small or too large to ask about. Usually something can be done to lessen side effects and improve your wellbeing. See your GP if you have side effects that are concerning you.
