[Perspectives] Next generation of cancer survivors —a GP perspective

I first met Sarah 5 years ago in one of my Monday morning surgeries. She was 41 years old and, other than attending for the odd minor illness, we hadn't seen much of her over the past few years. She told me she had started experiencing increasing shortness of breath when exercising. She had a body-mass index of 22, had never smoked, exercised 3 –4 times per week, and had no family history of heart or lung disease. There was nothing abnormal that I could find on examination, and a comprehensive set of blood test results were also normal.
