Metastatic breast cancer

Hearing that cancer has spread to another part of your body or that it has come back after treatment can be a huge shock. We have information on coping with a metastatic cancer diagnosis. 

Cancer can affect your emotions as well as your body and it's important to care for your mental health. We have information to help you cope with the news that you have metastatic cancer. 

There are things you can do yourself to feel as well as possible, such as eating well, being physicially active and stopping smoking. Find out more about caring for yourself.

Trying to manage work and finances and dealing with day-to day tasks can be challenging when you are coping with cancer.  Our information and services can support you.

• Help you to understand your diagnosis and what to expect from treatment
