Breast Cancer Video Available
A new, free educational video, Moving Beyond Breast Cancer, for women finishing breast cancer treatment is now available.

Most women finishing breast cancer treatment are eager to put the cancer experience behind them and get back to normal. However, the time immediately following treatment can be particularly difficult, with a wide range of emotions and reactions.

The 23-minute video features vignettes of women in different life stages who share their concerns and experiences about body changes, emotions, relationships, and new perspectives. Breast cancer surgeon Dr. Susan Love also provides medical insight on common reactions of breast cancer survivors in each of these areas.

The video was funded by an NCI grant to the UCLA School of Public Health and the Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center. The Susan G. Komen Foundation provided funding for a portion of duplication and distribution costs. Copies in VHS or DVD formats are available by contacting NCI's Cancer Information Service toll free at 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237) or online at https://cissecure.nci.nih.gov/ncipubs/.
