Webinar Audio: Real Talk: Healthy Body and Mind After Breast Cancer Treatment
Breastcancer.org PodcastShow Notes
This bonus episode is the audio of a Breastcancer.org webinar.
For many people, life after breast cancer isn't as easy as just moving on. Physical side effects may linger, and the emotional healing is ongoing. Fear of recurrence can affect our mental health and relationships even when we are doing our best to live in the moment.
Listen to this webinar for an honest conversation between breast cancer survivors about realistically managing anxiety and stress, staying active, and finding a balanced healthy lifestyle.
You’ll also hear from medical experts about survivorship care plans, and their perspective on making healthy choices without putting too much pressure on yourself to be perfect.
Special thanks to ArmorUp for Life for partnering with Breastcancer.org on the webinar.
