Breast cancer is the most common cancer among American women. Now considered a highly “treatable disease” if detected early enough, 94% of patients will move along the cancer continuum -- from diagnosis, through treatment, and emerge into the re-entry period with a good medical prognosis. Despite these statistics and the proliferation of breast cancer information in the media, the psychological impact of breast cancer can be overwhelming, even traumatic, for many women. Further, adaptation and adjustment can vary across individuals and across the cancer stage continuum -- with metastatic disease presenting a different constellation of issues compared to early stage cancer. This course reviews the research on the psychological sequelae of a breast cancer diagnosis including common treatment-related side effects that influence mood, shifts in body image and libido, issues of loss and grief, concerns for family regarding risk.
