Post Diagnosis Manual

As part of a 2009 Global Initiative Community Grant, the Association for Women’s Health (Casa AMES) developed a manual for women who have had or currently have breast cancer. The manual focuses on dealing with a breast cancer diagnosis, managing personal relationships, and taking care of oneself from an integral and holistic health perspective.

• A manual was created to inform and support women diagnosed with breast cancer.
• Topics included understanding a diagnosis; nutrition; relationships; medical choices, and managing emotions.
• The project targeted recently-diagnosed breast cancer patients of lower to middle socioeconomic backgrounds.
