Resources

While most Survivors will experience fulfilling lives, they also carry with them the knowledge that they have survived a potentially life-threatening illness.

The Komen.org website contains a section under “About Breast Cancer – After Treatment”  that offers suggestions on how survivors can manage their unique situations and improve their quality of life after treatment, including information on lymphedema, sex and sexuality, having children after breast cancer, postmenopausal hormones and steps you can take to improve your chances for survival.

Here are some other resources that can address questions regarding diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship issues:
