More than 60% of breast cancer survivors report at least one treatment related complication even 6 years after their treatment. Thirty percent are dealing with two issues such as lymphedema, skin reactions to radiation, upper pody symptoms and functional limitations, weight gain, fatigue, and peripheral neuropathy from chemotherapy.
Fragmented care leads to confusion and ignoring these complications. There are many treatments that can help these symptoms such as physical therapy, exercise, support groups, emotional support, infrared light therapy, and a healthly lifestyle that may proactively prevent a recurrence.
