What affects how we feel when we have breast cancer? Prognosis. Treatment.
Myths about treatment. Other feelings we often experience. Some practical

often act as if breast cancer is easier to live with than it is?

Getting emotional support during breast cancer. Is this fear of cancer/
breast cancer made worse by anything else? All cancers are hard to live
