Everyone should have the opportunity to live well beyond breast cancer.
Our Mission
To improve the quality of life of the breast cancer community by expanding access to Breast Cancer Rehabilitation.
To ensure everyone affected by breast cancer, regardless of race, age, education, and income, has access to essential cancer care during, after, and well beyond breast cancer.
Breast cancer treatments place extraordinary demands on the body and mind, often resulting in long-lasting physical, emotional, and social challenges. While some side effects fade with time, many don’t, negatively impacting how someone moves, works, rests, and shows up in daily life, often taking a toll on independence and quality of life.
The hopeful truth: Many treatment-related side effects can be improved, or even resolved, with Breast Cancer Rehabilitation, a specialized field of physical and occupational therapy. With this specialized care, individuals can rebuild strength, restore function, and return to the moments that matter most: carrying a child, hugging without hesitation, or moving through each day with more ease and less pain.
The gap: Despite strong evidence and national standards supporting rehabilitation as a core component of breast cancer care, it remains dramatically underused. Fewer than 10% of survivors are referred to rehabilitation, and only 2–9% of individuals ever receive this specialized care.
The barriers: Financial hardship. Insurance gaps. Lack of awareness. Inconsistent referrals. Systemic inequities tied to race, age, and income.
Breast cancer doesn’t discriminate, so why should one’s access to care?

Give the Gift of Healing
Well Beyond Breast Cancer is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit closing one of the most overlooked gaps in breast cancer care: access to Breast Cancer Rehabilitation.
Side effects like pain, fatigue, mobility loss, and lymphedema can linger long after treatment, making it hard to lift a child, reach overhead, sleep through the night, or return to the roles and activities that give life meaning.
Too often, these side effects go unaddressed, and people are left without the specialized rehabilitation that could reduce suffering and help them feel whole again.
That’s where you can help.
As a 100% volunteer-led organization, every dollar you donate goes directly to our programs for the breast cancer community. No overhead, no fluff; just real, life-changing impact.
Your generosity helps survivors move with greater ease, overcome pain, and truly live well beyond breast cancer.
All donations are tax-deductible. Please retain your receipt for your records.
