When people hear about the Big “C,” they think about treatments and the medical breakdown of the diagnosis. But in the opinion of Lynae Dodson, founder of breast cancer survivorship group I’m Taking Charge, not enough people are asking about what happens after cancer.
Dodson’s nonprofit organization has rapidly become a safe haven for compassion by providing information, support, and help for those concerned with post-cancer life.
“We didn’t realize how much the women were suffering in silence until they started finding us,” Dodson said. “We wanted to provide women with knowledge, education, and information – first of all, for their rights. There’s not a lot in cancer treatment that you get to choose.”
A team composed of writers, physicians, and survivors provides the organization with empowering survivor stories, informative medical articles, podcasts, and videos that serve as references when contemplating long-term health and comfort decisions.
