Beyond Awareness: Understanding Breast Cancer

An evidence-based resource helping empower our community with knowledge and confidence to navigate the complexities of this disease.

What’s our hope?

 We hope to encourage patients to take back control of their breast cancer experience. Supporting you with easy-to-understand resources helps put you back in the driver’s seat and leads to more informed decision-making, confident conversations with your healthcare team, and better overall outcomes.

We have created this video to explain more about a breast cancer diagnosis, including the types of cancer, stages and grades of a diagnosis, what medicines or therapies might be the best option for each person, and their unique situation.
