Living in the shadow
Facing breast cancer second time around
Once the initial shock of diagnosis has passed and treatment is finished, the threat of recurrence is probably the biggest concern for any woman who has had breast cancer. But how likely is recurrence and what is it really like? We talk to women who are coping with breast cancer second time around.
Just do it!
While it’s hard to avoid breast cancer taking over your life, some women are determined to take control again. Whether it’s starting your own business, raising money for charity, finding the answer to your side effects, or getting your kit off on TV, these women prove that there’s something you can do to get back on top!
Stress factor
Is there a link between stress and breast cancer?
For years, researchers have been looking at a possible link between women who lead particularly stressful lives and a higher incidence of breast cancer. Here, we look at one of the latest studies, and give you some stress-relieving tips.
The power of positive thinking

We ask whether your thoughts can really influence what happens in your life, and finds out how the power of the mind could help you cope with a breast cancer diagnosis.
