I felt there were things I could be doing better in my lifestyle, and then I happened upon this gold mine of information.

We will look at the connection between alcohol and breast cancer. If you smoke or use nicotine products, I will recommend resources to help you quit. We will also look at some medications that may be “risky”, like narcotics, sleeping pills, anxiety meds (benzodiazepines), and acid blockers. Many people are taking medications without understanding the risks or long-term consequences. Your treatment team knows you and your medical history so any medication changes should be discussed with them. However, you may want to review your medications with them and see if there may be alternatives that are safer for the long term.

- Review the risks of some commonly prescribed medications so that you can discuss safer options with your medical providers. Your medications can contribute to vitamin and mineral deficiencies or worsen some of the side effects of treatments.

Side Effects of Treatments
In this module, we will explore the most common side effects of breast cancer treatments, including fatigue, brain fog, joint pain and muscle aches, neuropathy, lymphedema, and sexual dysfunction.

Additionally, we will discuss how breast cancer survivors are at increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis, and provide you with actionable steps to optimize your health and reduce your risk of complications.
Module Highlights:
- Look at the evidence for each side effect and get potential solutions to help you feel your best. Most breast cancer thrivers are only offered medications to treat side effects or told to "live with it". In reality, there are evidence-based non-pharmacological options that can improve your quality of life without adding another pill to your pillbox.
- Understand your personal risk for cardiovascular disease, learn about more in-depth testing, and steps to take to decrease your risk. There is a lot you can do to prevent heart disease, but often times appropriate screenings may be missed.

"Thriving After Breast Cancer® has truly been an answer to a prayer for me. Before this class, I researched and read everything I could find about breast cancer and survival but so much of the information available is general and not specific. I found I still had so many more questions than answers with no place to turn for help. I was a little skeptical to take this course because I had downloaded so many booklets, articles, and professional papers that all promised to give insight on cancer survival and effective lifestyle changes, but never did. Dr. Devine somehow saw the need cancer survivors have for specific, targeted information to help us address the myriad of questions and concerns that come when our lives have been affected by cancer, and she designed a program to give survivors knowledge and strategies that are based on current research and reliable data to empower us to live the best life possible from this point. I highly encourage anyone considering this course to sign up! I have learned more in the last 8 weeks than in the 4 years since my diagnosis. "
- Donna S.

Having someone to help me navigate survivorship, provide knowledgeable and practical advice based on scientific evidence through integrative and lifestyle medicine as well as western medicine, and just provide some hand-holding has truly made a difference in my confidence related to my cancer. It was everything I hoped for and more."
