Don’t Let the Fear of Recurrence Define You

Many people diagnosed with breast cancer experience fear of recurrence. While some level of fear is natural, excessive and persistent fear can negatively impact your quality of life. Signs that fears are interfering with your daily life and wellbeing include heightened anxiety, trouble making decisions, difficulty completing daily tasks, and a greater risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or depression. Being able to recognize the intensity and frequency of these fears is necessary to be able to manage them effectively.
