We know it can be difficult adjusting to life after breast cancer treatment.

Men’s Health Week is an important time to raises awareness of health issues that affect men and focuses on getting men to become more aware of health problems, should they develop.

What is Mindfulness we hear you ask?

Finding out that you have breast cancer can be a real shock, it is natural to experience a range of feelings and a sense of disbelief.

We aren’t sure if tips & tricks is the right heading for this article as we certainly don’t have any surgery tricks up our sleeve and we would rather be able to magic all cancers away so you wouldn’t need to be reading this right now.

Did you know that approx. 300 people are seen in the Primrose breast care centre at University Hospitals Plymouth every week and whilst the appointments often vary the worry & anxiety of those attending their appointment are often very similar.

Is it that time of year again for you? Can you feel the dread and anxiety building as maybe your routine appointment for your x-ray or scan approaches? It is recognised that anxiety can increase when there is a test pending which will screen for, diagnose, or check for progression or recurrence of a cancer.

As your breast CARE charity, we want to do all we can to help & support not only those directly receiving treatment for breast cancer but those around them too.

We often hear that after receiving a breast cancer diagnosis life can change you in many ways, not just physically but your outlook on life too.
