Survive & Thrive: Hope, Laughter and Truth

Our new comprehesive DVD for women facing early stage breast cancer has wrapped production and is now ready for ordering!

For the main story of the film, in an era of reality TV, and “survivor” shows, we are excited to apply this more contemporary approach to breast cancer. We invited 11 women of diverse ethnicity, survival length, lifestyles, and personalities to share a retreat at a lovely Alaskan lodge in Homer. Our women from very different lifestyles come to this empowering support group where the one thing they have in common is that they are long-term survivors of breast cancer. Our women are filled with inspiration, humor, tears and hope. Think of war vets converging, laden with stories and personality. For the expert portion of the DVD, we hear 90 questions answered on everything from nutrition to radiation, exercise to reconstruction.
