Description
'Once treatment stops, and people leave strictly managed clinical
environments, survivors feel as though they had "fallen off a cliff
edge"... feeling isolated and abandoned at a time when support is needed
the most'. - Mental Health Foundation
From the final infusion to the five-year check, After Breast Cancer gives
a step-by-step support package to coping post-treatment. It follows on
from Sara Liyanage's successful coverage of diagnosis and treatment in Ticking Off Breast Cancer, and
is driven not only by her experience of illness, but underpinned by
contributions from leading oncologists, heads of cancer services, and
clinical consultant psychologists.
With a readable blend of informality and medically endorsed insight, After Breast Cancer has
an optimistic outlook and a reassuring tone, but doesn't flinch from
discussing the possibility of secondary cancer, or the full impact of
treatment and surgery on you or your loved one. It features a huge
amount of practical information, including a full toolkit for navigating
the days post-treatment - including breathing exercises, mindfulness
meditation, journaling, affirmations and a healthy bedtime routine.
Designed
for women of all backgrounds, whatever the nature of their diagnosis,
this blend of approachability, lived experience and medical insight puts
the power firmly back in your hands, as a breast cancer survivor.
