Description of intervention(s) / exposure
We are aiming to collect details of the side effects that you experience during each phase of your treatment, how often and the reason that you see your GP or specialist during your breast cancer treatment for unexpected medical problems; and what treatment is given to you for these medical problems.
The information will be collected in a patient self-reported diary and sourced in routine medical practice medical file notes. Paticipants will be observed until completion of their designated treatments - this will range from 2 to 6 months depending on which treatments the participant undergoes.
