The fear of breast cancer coming back is one of the most common issues faced by people diagnosed with breast cancer.
Recurrence occurs when cells from the original breast cancer diagnosis break away and hide nearby in the breast (local recurrence), an unrelated new breast cancer occurs in one or the other breast (new primary breast cancer), or the cancer spreads elsewhere in the body (distant recurrence).
Fortunately, Australia and New Zealand have some of the best survival rates of breast cancer in the world. In Australia, the five-year survival rate is 91% and its 88% in New Zealand.
But despite recurrences usually occurring within five years after the initial treatment, the fear that cancer may return at any time in life is a very normal and common worry for most people.
