Active Treatment
There are many types of treatments that are the standard of care for early-stage and locally advanced breast cancer. An individualised treatment plan is created by your cancer care team and active treatment can involve a combination of surgery, radiotherapy, systemic treatment and supportive care.
Completed Treatment
When a breast cancer patient has completed hospital-based treatment, they transition to multidisciplinary follow-up care. Completed treatment can be from a combination of surgery, radiotherapy and systemic treatment like chemotherapy or hormone therapy. Follow-up care plans aid in the detection and management of treatment-related side effects. You will be eager to enter this new phase after treatment and move towards a life beyond breast cancer. This is a great time to implement strategies to remain well, which can include maintaining a healthy body weight, exercise and mindfulness.
