Beyond Breast Cancer* is a program offered to anyone who has been diagnosed with breast cancer and completed active treatment.

We understand that a breast cancer diagnosis is a life changing event that does not end once treatment is completed. Survivorship is the next phase, and it is different for everyone.

The Survivorship program is intended to close gaps and offer support to patients once they’ve been released from their cancer care team.

The Survivorship Program offers:

  • Follow up care including physical examination, appropriate imaging and renewal of cancer related prescriptions
  • Clarification and management of side effects of cancer treatment
  • Providing support and strategies for lifestyle changes to reduce risk of recurrence
  • Providing referrals to other specialists as deemed appropriate for optimal care
  • Recommendations regarding community or online resources for issues such as chronic anxiety and depression
