Managing the late effects of breast cancer treatment
About this booklet
The booklet describes the possible effects of treatment and how they can be improved or managed. It includes information on positive lifestyle changes, which can help reduce the risk of developing some late effects. There is also information about coping with some of the sexual and emotional difficulties that you may experience.
Although this booklet is written for women, some of the information may help anyone who has late effects of breast cancer treatment. We have separate information for women and men on our website. Treatments for breast cancer are similar for men and women. So men may experience some of the side effects described in this booklet.
If you are transgender (trans) or non-binary, you may find the information in this booklet useful. We also have information about cancer for trans and non-binary people on our website. Visit macmillan.org.uk/transgender
If you have late effects, we hope this booklet will help explain who can help you and what can be done. It also suggests some positive ways to help yourself.
