Brief Summary

Patients who were diagnosed with breast cancer and have finished their treatment will be given the opportunity to be part of this study. These patients will have been attending surveillance at the Breast Centre in Beaumont Hospital, Ireland for 2 years prior. These patients, who are doing well after breast cancer treatment, will be given the opportunity to enrol in this study, potentially being discharged from in person surveillance after 2 years, while still attending for their annual mammogram. Investigators intend to find out if a simpler follow-up plan could work just as safely, while also improving the patients quality of life.
