Women Stories has a series of videos featuring breast cancer survivors talking about specific topics related to their experiences. From initial diagnosis to issues such as surgical choices or hormone therapy and life after breast cancer, these videos provide information from women who have been there. A review board of medical professionals has approved all information in the videos. You can watch online or purchase a DVD set of all 10 videos.

This 3-ring binder/organizer is designed to help the newly diagnosed navigate the information and choices they are given. It contains hints, questions to ask, a calendar, a resource list and places to list your own questions and note your own research.

The M. Lau Breast Center at Princess Margaret Hospital has an extensive online booklet about survivorship issues. Some of it is Canadian-specific, and it's from 2002 so it may not be completely up to date about every issue, but it's a great starting point on thinking about issues a survivor faces -- from how to start an exercise routine to how to reconnect with a spouse.
