Identifying and managing the consequences of treatment for early breast cancer

Increasing numbers of women are living for significant periods of time after diagnosis and treatment for early breast cancer. For many of these women the consequences of cancer treatments can be debilitating and distressing yet little is known about their experience of survival. The Recovery Package facilitates the identification and management of the consequences of treatment. This is achieved through the offer of a structured, person centered means of assessing and delivering the appropriate levels of support to these women at a time and in a way that is consistent with their wishes and needs.
