HER2 Support Group Forums - View Single Post - Majority of breast cancer patients develop symptoms of PTSD

A few months ago I actually thought about this exact thing - do I feel like I have PTSD. I immediately dismissed it and thought I was being dramatic. But I really think it makes sense. Especially with HER2 statistics. It's certainly not the same as a soldier would have but none the less, probably very real for many breast cancer survivors (warriors). Personally I think more care should go into the emotional/mental side of this DX and TX. Very interesting article/study.
