Breast Cancer Treatment
Treatments for breast cancer vary depending on the stage of your cancer and many other factors your doctor/nurse will can discuss with you. These guidelines cover areas that are most specific to women with breast cancer. You can read about breast structure and function, diagnosis, and treatment in other brochures included in the breast cancer education packet. Also available from your nurse, Gare guidelines to help you cope specifically with side effects of chemotherapy, should you receive it, are also available. Your own experience will be unique, of course, so we encourage you to ask any questions and also to share your experiences with us so others can benefit from them.
