Treatment of Breast Cancer Blog
Tell your story in our new research blog
Treatment with any serious condition is always a stressful and difficult time. This is especially the case with any kind of cancer.
To explore these issues The Patients Voice has launched a new video blog to initiate a research discussion about the process of treatment of breast cancer.
One of the members of The Patients Voice who was diagnosed with estrogen resistant breast cancer five years ago, has made a video outlining her experiences of treatment.
She talks about radio therapy, CT scans, her experience of the Cromwell Hospital and her relations with her oncologists and other specialists. Marie talks us through the decisions she made in the treatment of her cancer and how it has affected her life.
To see Marie speak on her treatment please click on the video below.
