Abstract

This article discusses the changing realities for patients after a diagnosis of early breast cancer due to the various survivorship issues that create a new normality for each patient. The importance of individualised treatment plans, the issues of fertility , of returning to work, of support following end of treatment are only a few of the many questions discussed. The age of personalised treatment needs to address the personalised care in survivorship as well.
