Chapter 1


Introduction Each of our lives is a story. We journey along a road of experiences and emotions, passing sig- nificant milestones along the way. Suddenly, the road beneath our feet takes a sharp turn, break- ing from what had been certain.


Breast cancer causes this break. Perspective


ruthlessly shifts; you and your loved ones see the road differently than you did before.


However, we see the road has not ended- it con- tinues on through new hills and new valleys. We know life has done this before, curiously forcing us into foreign places and down roads that seemed impassable.


Yet somehow these challenges


become fertile soil where seeds of strength, love, and resilience mature and grow strong.


Remember, this is a road that has been traversed by thousands of women, women with full lives and loved ones. Women whose dreams- whose lives- were threatened by breast cancer. Women who now share stories of endurance and hope.


The Beyond The Shock® informational video series is divided into chapters and subchapters. These videos will provide information for you to process, share, and use to your own benefit. You will learn about breast cancer, its types and stages, how it grows, how it is diagnosed, and how it is treated. More than anything else, Beyond The Shock is a place to gain knowledge for today and receive hope for tomorrow.
