Know Cancer

Living Beyond Breast Cancer (LBBC) aims to empower all women affected by breast cancer to live as long as possible with the best quality of life. LBBC provides specialized programs and services for the newly diagnosed, young women, women with advanced breast cancer, women at high risk for developing the disease, and African American and Latina women. The LBBC Survivors’ Helpline is a national, toll-free telephone service staffed by trained volunteers affected by breast cancer. Helpline volunteers offer guidance, information, and hope. Spanish-speaking helpline volunteers are available. LBBC publishes Insight (quarterly educational newsletter), provides interactive message boards, and offers comprehensive guides, brochures, and transcripts and audio recordings of conferences. LBBC also offers education programs and services to help health care professionals counsel women affected by breast cancer. The LBBC Web site is available in Spanish.
