Abstract
Although Breast Cancer awareness in Nigeria has improved tremedously over the years, a lot needs to be done in terms of the seriousness it deserves as people have died and are still dying from the disease. There is a dearth of information on life after breast cancer in terms of survivorship as focus is always more on treatment and surgery.
This study is based on data from a breast cancer support group as well as information gotten from social media via instagram.
Materials and Methods: Case studies based on treatment and surgical methods available to each woman as well as opinions on how journey starts and progresses. This is within an 18 Months period.
