Life after diagnosis and surviving breast cancer
The five year relative survival for localized breast cancer is 98.5 percent per the American Cancer Society. Surviving includes ongoing follow ups, possible long term side effects, and psychological adjustment. Support networks and lifestyle changes aid recovery and reduce fatigue as patients establish a new normal.
