Learn how to live comfortably
after breast cancer
Time magazine reported on Oct. 3 that
there has been a nearly 40 percent drop in
breast cancer deaths. While that’s encouraging
news, it also means that they are
more women and men living with the
diagnosis of breast cancer.
Th ese patients are living with a now
chronic illness, some are considered
cured while others will be in treatment
either sporadically or long term. Even
those who have a positive outcome will
be living with a new norm. Depending
on the extent of their treatment and
pre-existing health conditions, they will
face various permanent lifestyle changes.
Surgery, chemotherapy, radiation or a
combination of all three, have long-term
side eff ects.
