Breast cancer
You are not alone in your fight
The support of your partner, your family or friends is very important to overcome breast cancer. Let them make you feel sheltered and loved at all times and, above all, let your doctor help.
Remember that you have at your disposal a multidisciplinary team of gynaecologists, oncologists, surgeons and psychologists who can advise you on how to live your life normally and to take care of your health. Do not let this affect your relationship.
You also have various organizations that fight breast cancer near, where you can receive the support of many women who have been through a similar experience and will help with information, confronting the disease, preventing complications and being prepared to address them if they arise.

If you have been diagnosed with breast cancer, you can have hope because, depending on the stage of the disease, the average rate of survival beyond five years may be higher than 90%*.
With the improvement of surgical techniques and the development of new drugs, positive success rates have been achieved, but it is vital that you confront the diagnosis with a lot of willpower from day one.
Once the disease is controlled, the likelihood of relapse is less common as time passes. If ten years go by without the disease recurring, survival is similar to that of the general population.
Learning to live with the disease and having a positive outlook is very important for your treatment to be successful. Remember that you’re not alone, that your family and friends, like your doctors, nurses and other medical staff, will help you overcome the disease. Therefore, you need to have willpower and fight the cancer.
