This thirteenth article in our series on breast disease explores the many concerns that patients face after completion of their breast cancer treatment. The diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer is an ordeal for women on a number of levels. Similarly, there are often a multitude of issues and concerns raised after the completion of treatment. Having an awareness of these medical and survivorship issues allows the general practitioner to provide important support to both the patient and her family.
