Breast cancer survivorship- what to ask and why it matters
About
Please join The Cairns Group GPs on the 5th of May for an important discussion on Breast cancer survivorshipWith improving breast cancer outcomes, more women are living well beyond diagnosis and treatment — and increasingly turning to their GP for ongoing care. Yet survivorship often brings complex challenges including treatment-induced menopause, fatigue, cognitive changes, sexual dysfunction, bone health concerns, fear of recurrence, and endocrine therapy side effects. This practical session will explore the common long-term and late effects of breast cancer treatment, with a focus on evidence-based strategies GPs can use to support women to recover, adapt, and thrive after cancer.
Dr Helen Hobson is a General Practitioner working in Mossman and with COUCH Cancer Hub NQ in Cairns.
She has developed a strong interest in cancer survivorship care, supporting patients as they navigate life during and after cancer treatment. Her approach focuses on whole-person care, including physical health, emotional wellbeing, and practical lifestyle strategies for long-term recovery.
Dr Zoe Adam is a general practitioner working at Redlynch Medical Centre.
She is a women’s health advocate, and breast cancer survivor with a passion for supporting women beyond diagnosis and treatment. She has a special interest in survivorship care, menopause, and helping women reclaim health and wellbeing after cancer.
