Managing your
fear of breast cancer recurrence
Many people who have been treated for early breast cancer feel anxious
and worry that their cancer may one day come back (recur). Fear of cancer
recurrence is the term used to describe these worries and anxieties. This
webcast will assist in providing you with the techniques and strategies to
support reducing such fears.
We will explore the facts around how likely it is that your breast
cancer will recur, what you need to look out for (what are the red flags)
and how to manage the emotional triggers and challenges.
Participants will hear from Prof Bruce Mann, Breast Surgeon, Dr
Charlotte Tottman, Clinical Psychologist, and Kathy Bell, Consumer. There
will also be the opportunity to ask questions online. Event details Date: Thursday 11 February 2021 Time: 7.00 - 8.00 pm (AEDT) Where: online - from your computer, laptop or tablet

will this webcast be available to view afterwards as I’m not sure I will be available at that time. Tomorrow will be my 12 month cancerversary & I think this will be invaluable
thank you x
I found it really interesting her comments on reviewing her own professional practices before returning to work and her realising her underestimation of the reality of anxiety around recurrence. Not that I would wish a cancer diagnosis on anyone, but it seems that it has to be lived to really get it.
Thank you x
