Summary
This study tests whether a simple, video-guided mindfulness breathing program can improve quality of life and mental well-being in people with breast cancer. Fifty participants who have completed chemotherapy will either practice daily 5-minute breathing exercises for 6 weeks or receive standard care. Researchers will measure changes in well-being and quality of life using validated questionnaires.
