For many breast cancer survivors, finishing treatment isn't the end of the journey - it's the beginning of new fears.

In this episode, we sit down with Ben to discuss:

- (00:50) How we currently define fear of recurrence.

- (01:59) The factors that can contribute to a person's risk of having a fear of recurrence.

- (03:14) The impact that these fears can have on overall well-being.
