Signs and symptoms of secondary breast cancer
Most breast cancers don’t come back after treatment. But sometimes they can return, so it’s important you know what signs and symptoms to look out for.
A prompt diagnosis means that people can begin treatment and access supportive care as quickly as possible. Timely access to treatment and care can relieve symptoms and have a dramatic impact on quality of life.
Get to know what’s normal for your body and pay attention to any possible signs and symptoms. These do not necessarily mean you have secondary breast cancer. But if you have a persistent new symptom, it’s important to get it checked out.
