Breast cancer treatments often have significant side effects that can impact both your physical and mental health. Common treatments include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Surgery can lead to scarring and changes in breast shape. Chemotherapy can cause hair loss, dry skin, and fatigue. Radiation may make the skin look and feel like sunburn. Some chemotherapy drugs can cause fluid retention, leading to swelling in the arms and legs. Aromatase inhibitors, a type of hormone therapy, can make bones more brittle, causing bone and joint pain. Other types of chemotherapy may also lead to bone thinning and early menopause. Breast cancer that spreads to the bones can cause pain, and radiotherapy may help alleviate this. Discussing these changes and their impact with your loved ones or a mental health counselor can be beneficial. It's also important to talk to your doctor about managing these side effects and exploring other treatment options.
