​The 3 big surprises for patients facing breast cancer treatment

Sure it’s one of the worst days of your life when you get the news.

Telling your friends and family was very hard.

Finding the right medical team was not easy, you are bombarded with so much complex information.

The stress and fear has stayed with you.

Let’s be honest, a lot of what we have told you has not yet sunk in.

BUT

It doesn’t have to be all gloom – what keeps a lot of patients going is a sense of hope and a positive outlook.
