“Fear of recurrence is the #1 concern for women who have had breast cancer. Even if they had Stage 0, they are often just as frightened as those who had Stage 3. Giving patients the ability to get their head around recurrence is key to not letting it monopolize their thoughts. To women who have faced breast cancer, don’t allow cancer to be in charge.” – Lillie Shockney, former Director of John Hopkins Breast Center & two-time survivor
