Hi everyone,

Remission of breast cancer is associated with the end of treatment. However, follow-up is necessary to reduce the risk of relapse and/or to treat any after-effects of treatment.

As a patient, you may wish to move on, but you may also feel alone and lost.

Personalized support is offered by the medical and paramedical staff, such as nutrition workshops, physical activity, wellness treatments, sexology, etc., as well as social support consultations to help you return to work, obtain financial support, and deal with administrative issues, among others.

Do you benefit from this type of support? What does it involve? What would you recommend to other patients in the same situation?

Hi everyone,

How are you today?

I see Berthe didn't get many comments from her discussion. Since it is Breast Cancer Awareness month, I think this topic might be able to get more visibility and others will be able to benefit from the shared knowledge.

Have you received personalized support (nutrition workshops, physical therapy, wellness treatments, sexology, etc.) or social support (consultations to help you return to work, administrative issues, etc)? Who do you turn to for learning about these topics? Where did you find the most support? Are you in the position where you are able to offer these things to others?

I'll tag a few members who might have some time to share.

@Courtney_J I am getting very nervous and scared because the surgery is July 13, 2021. My parents both died this year so I dont have them to talk to. My mom died on Feb 16, 2021 with a sickness she was suffering for 18 months so i was dealing with that for the last months and then my dad had a major stroke 3 weeks after my mom passed away and he could no longer go back to his assistance living so we had to find a nursing home. We found one he was only in there 3 weeks and then he passed away on May 6, 2021. Right after all that I was diagnosed with cancer so I have been on a train that is non-stop. I feel like I am so tried out and I dont have much energy left. My sisters are not helpful they keep telling me just pray. They both got to take 2 weeks vacation after my mom and dad passed away. I have not even had time to take a breather I am just on the train of bad luck. That is how I am feeling.
