Ask the expert: anxiety and depression

Jess_BCNA

Afternoon,

For those of you who haven't had a chance to read the latest edition of The Beacon (issue 69) - I just wanted flag one of the articles in particular from Associate Professor, Jane Turner about anxiety and depression, which affect up to half of women diagnosed with breast cancer.

'Ask the expert: anxiety and depression.' (Page 3) Jane Turner talks about;

• Breast cancer and risks and symptoms of anxiety and/or depression
• How to find help and resources available

This issue 'Getting off the couch' focuses on women who have started to get active after their diagnosis and is now available to read online.
