This section is for anyone who is dealing with a diagnosis of primary breast cancer and its treatment. It discusses some of the emotional issues that may arise in the early weeks and months, and looks ahead to the time when you have finished your treatment and are looking to the future.
If you have been diagnosed with secondary breast cancer (breast cancer that has spread to another part of the body) you may want to visit our Living with secondary breast cancer section.
Here you can find out about practicalities such as benefits, finance and work-related issues. You can also read about how to look after yourself with useful information on diet and complementary therapies. We also look at very sensitive issues such as body image, intimacy and sexuality.
This section also includes specialist areas for younger women, there is information about fertility issues, talking with children about cancer, and how dealing with a cancer diagnosis maybe different for younger women. We also have a section for men affected by breast cancer, with breast cancer information presented from the male perspective.
