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.

Hi @Giovanna_BCNA. Will BCNA take notes and put them up for those of us who are not computer literate and/or do not have computer access at that time ? It would be appreciated by many, I am sure. Thank you.

@Giovanna_BCNA Thanks. I received an email about this webcast & have already registered for the event & marked it in my diary! I am especially looking forward to hearing Dr Charlotte Tottman speak. She was one of the guest speakers at a BCNA conference I attended in Adelaide a couple of years ago & she was AMAZING! I could have listened to her all day. She too has battled BC so she speaks not only from a medical perspective but a personal level as well.

What a great presentation. I really got a lot from it and feel better about my risk of recurrence, and how to manage my feelings.

@Giovanna_BCNA @Laura_BCNA Wow! That was a terrific webinar. We are so blessed to have free access to the great minds of these professionals & hear them speak. I am a huge fan of Dr Charlotte Tottman. Ive heard her speak at a conference before & was inspired by her knowledge & her personal BC story. It was very empowering & emotional to hear her speak about her own experience. Thankyou BCNA for providing this invaluable resource via these webinars. I highly recommend it & encourage any who missed it, to watch a replay.

That was a great. As just recently diagnosed, about to embark on this journey it allayed my fears and anxiety already. Thank you

I absolutely loved this webinar. It answered so many of my questions. I was having a really crappy day until I watched the webinar and then I felt so good after with the new knowledge and skills to handle the fear. Thank you Thank You Thank You BCNA for putting this presentation on and my heartfelt thanks to the 3 speakers. Wow! We feel so supported and understood. So much gratitude to you all.

Is there a link to watch it, as I missed it.???? cannot find it anywhere??

Locksley · February 15

I am having trouble finding the link to watch as well. When I click the link for the webcasts Laura from BCNA has put up it doesnt go to the webinar for me to watch. Technically challenged!! Help.

Laura_BCNA · February 15

Hi @ChezaH and @Locksley, the on-demand link won't be ready until tomorrow, I'll post it in here when I receive the link. Thanks

I have hear Charlotte Tottman speak before as well and always impressed by her understanding and approach. When I fell apart towards the end of chemo, someone suggested that I try to get into her as she was so good. Unfortunately, I couldn't get an appointment and now realise that it was probably about the time that she was going through her own diagnosis.

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.
