A 37-year-old cancer survivor has called on the NHS to step up its after-care psychological support as a charity has revealed patients face a “postcode lottery” for services.
Zoe Yessian, a mental health nurse from London, was 34 when she was diagnosed with stage two breast cancer. She has told The Independent after a year of surgery, egg preservation surgery, chemo and radiation therapy, she was not offered any post-treatment psychological support despite her body entering a “medical crash menopause” in her thirties.
