Do you worry about your cancer coming back?
Feeling anxious and frightened about breast cancer returning is very common for people who have had breast cancer. While fear of cancer recurrence may never go away completely there are ways to manage it.

In my language: my breast cancer story
Recently, BCNA produced a series of new videos. In my language: my breast cancer story shares the breast cancer experiences of women in their own languages, with subtitles in English. The women are from Italian, Greek, Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese), Arabic and Vietnamese speaking backgrounds. Inaam Barakat is the mastermind behind this work and these videos. Feel free to contact her at ibarakat@bcna.org.au and tell her how great you think they are!
