Dealing with practical aspects of a metastatic breast cancer diagnosis

Over time, women with metastatic breast cancer may need help to do all the things they would normally do at home or at work. It can be difficult to come to terms with a loss of independence. However, accepting help and support can help women save their energy for the things that are important to them.

If you or someone close to you has been diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer it’s important to remember that you don’t have to go through this alone. Support and assistance is available through the healthcare team.
