We recommend that you ask your doctor for a personalized Survivorship Care Plan that summarizes your treatment and provides medical guidance for the follow-up care you need to stay cancer free, including how often you should be screened for breast cancer recurrence and which tests should be used. At MSK, we offer a wide range of specialized services for breast cancer survivors to prevent, detect, and treat any complications that may arise from breast cancer treatment and help our patients return to as full and healthy a life as possible:
Individual and family counseling is available to help you and your family cope with your disease. Our patient and caregiver support program lets you connect with other breast cancer survivors who have completed their treatment, understand your challenges and concerns, and can provide encouragement and helpful tips. Your caregivers can also receive support through these programs.
Rehabilitation programs for breast cancer survivors help you heal and return to a full, active life. We also have healthcare professionals with specialized training in providing personalized care for older patients who may have other health conditions besides breast cancer.
