Can I live a full life with breast cancer?

Breast Cancer looks different in every person who has it. There are multiple types of breast cancer and even more treatment options. Living with breast cancer is going to look unique for you.

There are some common life aspects/symptoms affected or created by breast cancer in most cases. They are the following:

• Pain

• Fatigue

• Nausea

• Stress

• Menopause

• Sexual side-effects

Despite these common factors, there are so many differing outcomes that breast cancer experiences can be hard to sum up into one expectation.

The question of living a full life with breast cancer holds similar weight to living a full life without it. It entirely depends on what a full life looks like to you. The answer is that of course, you can live a full life with breast cancer. Although, it might require some shifts in perspective.

There might be changes to your diet or daily habits that you will need to grow used to. Your treatment could last for quite some time or even for the duration of your life. That does not mean that these additions to your life need to rule it.
