Breast cancer is the number one cancer that affects woman in the UK. So much of your energy goes into coping with the treatment and coming out the other side, that once you do you are left facing 'normal' life again. This can also be a difficult transition and you'll be facing new emotional challenges.
Today I talk about how you can improve your emotional well-being after breast cancer. Around 60% of breast cancer survivors suffer from PTSD and anxiety in the year following their treatment. What happens to our brains during the recovery from a traumatic event?

Breast health has become an important topic for both women and men. But with a huge amount of conflicting and confusing information out there, it can be hard to find the advice, support and care that you need.
My Breast My Health was created to make understanding breast health easy. Whether you’re looking to learn how to keep your breasts healthy, concerned about new symptoms or learning to live post-diagnosis, you’re in the right place.
Hi, I'm Dr Tasha
I’m a Doctor, Breast Cancer Surgeon and Medical Educator. After 20 years helping people to understand and overcome breast health problems, I’ve seen first hand the fear, frustration and stress that my patients go through.
As a breast specialist with over a decade’s worth of experience, I understand finding the right information, processing a diagnosis, understanding treatment and getting accurate, practical advice as you ride the rollercoaster of emotions can be really tough.
But I’m here to help.
The internet can be a wonderful source of information but when it comes to breast health there’s a lot of inaccurate information out there. Listening to the wrong advice could cause you unnecessary worry or even put your health at risk.
So I wanted to create an accessible hub where you could find useful, accurate and reliable information from a trusted source – a Breast Health Doctor – all in one place.
That’s exactly what you’ll find here on my YouTube Channel.
