Summary

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer diagnosed in women. A good rehabilitation program is essential for a good recovery after breast cancer, both physically and mentally. The aim of this study is to determine if there is an added value of a third supervised training session within a standard 12-week rehabilitation program to improve physical and mental functioning after breast cancer. The investigators also want to determine the added value of hydrotherapy as a third training session within a 12-week rehabilitation program compared to a third training session with ground exercises to improve physical and mental functioning after breast cancer.
