First, learn about “Breast Cancer Basics”

You must learn the essentials about breast cancer and cancer care. Our short video courses will teach you the pertinent information you will need in order to obtain the best care in your community. At our website, www.breastcancercourse.org, you can learn as much or as little as you desire. Begin with reviewing our “Breast Cancer Basics” course. These video lessons guide you to the key information you must quickly learn in order to make good treatment decisions.

Take our specific lessons on:

“What is Breast Cancer?”
“Will I Survive Breast Cancer?”
“My Tumor Receptors”
“HER2-Positive” and “Triple Negative” cancer
“Breast Cancer Recurrence?”

At the Breast Cancer School for Patients, we feel it is our duty as breast cancer specialists to teach you how to ask for the best quality care. We are convinced that a well-informed patient who asks “targeted questions” will get better care. Get informed before speaking with your doctors.
Prepare for your Surgery, Oncology & Radiation Consultations

Learn everything about your unique breast cancer:
For each medical consultation, review our “Course Overview” video to learn what you will address with your surgeon, medical oncologist and radiation oncologist. You can then prepare by reviewing our “lessons” on the key topics ahead.

Watch our quick video “lessons” in the order they are presented. Use our “Questions” in each lesson to engage your breast cancer specialists to get the information you will need to know about the topics important to you. Go deeper into detail with our “Patient-Friendly” links and even further with our “More Detailed” links. Your time is important to us. When you follow our innovative educational model, you will stay focused and avoid getting lost on the internet.

Your Breast Surgery Course:
Your breast surgeon is the first person to teach you about your unique breast cancer. You will learn about the threat to your life and the treatment options ahead. Review our “Breast Surgery Course” before and after your breast surgeon consultation. This way, you will be better prepared to engage, then re-engage your surgeon on follow up visits about important issues.

Your Medical Oncology Course:
A medical oncologist will add to the knowledge you have already gained from your breast surgeon and online research. Take our quick “Medical Oncology Course.” Watch each “lesson” in the order they are presented. Learn about hormonal therapy, chemotherapy, genomic tests and much more. When you understand the basics, you will remember the details about what is discussed and make better treatment decisions for yourself.

Your Radiation Oncology Course:
You may ultimately consult with a radiation oncologist, usually soon after surgery or possibly after surgery and chemotherapy are completed. Our “Radiation Oncology Course” will outline the details of breast cancer radiation therapy. Many of the recent cutting-edge treatments in breast cancer care are advancements in breast radiation. We educate you about these new approaches.

We are the only breast education website that prioritizes using video to teach you about breast cancer. We encourage other societies and institutions to embrace this approach to healthcare education.

How to find good breast cancer information online?

We have organized the key topics in breast cancer that you must learn. These topics are presented in the order you will likely encounter them. Because of this, we recommend using the Breast Cancer School for Patients as your “Table of Contents” to search the internet for more information. Search well established websites. The best information is provided by medical societies and non-profit organizations. We provide links to the best evidence-based sites on every breast cancer topic. We suggest searching all the topics that are pertinent to you, rather than spending hours on the details of one aspect of your care. This way you will have a better understanding of your entire breast cancer situation.
