An amazing 5th annual Java with Jimmy Joseph Betancourt health fair. Feeds my soul to join @MGBResearchNews colleagues to discuss cancer screening & treatment with our community.

It was wonderful to join members of our @MassGenBrigham Breast Onc & Radiology teams at the @javawithJimmy Joseph Betancourt Health Fair, where we provided education about breast cancer screening, & evidence-based lifestyle strategies for cancer risk reduction & survivorship.

We are thrilled to provide this resource for people who are looking for a path through breast cancer and beyond. 💗 PAVING the Path to Wellness with Evidence-Based Lifestyle Medicine Tools for Cancer Survivorship is a fabulous resource for those newly diagnosed or who have completed treatment. And this is a resource that people who love and care about people who are going through breast cancer treatments or who have been cancer-free for years. Here's what Amazon says--💗 "You have breast cancer. Now what? Confusion, fear, and a tidal wave of conflicting advice can hit before, during, and after the first treatment begins. How can I optimize my health, and importantly my well-being and quality of life along the way? Am I missing out if I don’t take supplements or start a special diet? When is it safe to start exercising? What and who is going to help me get through this? And who can you really trust with the answers to these questions? In PAVING Your Path Through Breast Cancer and Beyond, you get up-front access to a program normally taught at a top cancer center by one of the nation’s most experienced and effective teams of lifestyle medicine experts: breast cancer oncologist Dr. Amy Comander, Director of Lifestyle Medicine at the Massachusetts General Cancer Center and an Instructor at Harvard Medical School, with women’s health and lifestyle medicine experts, Drs. Beth Frates and Michelle Tollefson. Drawing on decades of clinical experience and the latest research, they cut through the noise and deliver honest, science-backed answers based on evidence-based tools from lifestyle medicine that have been shown to enhance cancer survivorship. They share not only the tools, but concrete action plans—to help you move from merely surviving to fully thriving after a diagnosis of breast cancer. With the PAVING the Path to Wellness Program, breast cancer survivors learn how to optimize their health physically, mentally, and spiritually. The program is based on the science and evidence of lifestyle medicine and positive psychology, covering physical activity, attitude, energy, purpose, sleep, stress resiliency, social connectedness, and the rest of the topics in the P.A.V.I.N.G. S.T.E.P.S.S. mnemonic. In PAVING Your Path Through Breast Cancer and Beyond, you’ll discover a clear roadmap to renewal and resilience—a practical, step-by-step guide to help you move, eat, rest, and think in ways that restore strength and vitality, delivering hope at every turn. Throughout the book, inspiring survivor stories offer candid reflections and hard-won wisdom, showing exactly how others have reclaimed purpose, joy, and confidence after breast cancer treatment. Whether this book is for you, or to share with a friend or loved one, or whether you’re newly diagnosed, completing therapy, or years into survivorship, this guide equips breast cancer survivors with trustworthy tools to thrive. Surviving is just the beginning. Start paving your path to a vibrant, fulfilling life today." #pavingwellness #lifestylemedicine #wellbeing #breastcancer #womenshealth #health #cancer #survivorship #thrive #healthyliving #WellnessJourney

@JasmineKambojMD Thank you @JasmineKambojMD for hosting us on the Empowering Oncologists podcast! We loved discussing #survivorship & #lifestylemedicine with you!

Thanks Dr Amy Comander, MD FACLM, DipABLM, MSCP and Dr Michelle Tollefson for your insights and time. #Survivorship care is about ✅keeping the whole person in mind while doing their cancer management at any stage on their journey ✅survivorship should focus on Quality of Life- our cancer survivors should feel like they are “thriving” not just surviving ✅wellness conversations should be compassionate, collaborative and empowering (and not just informational) Loved the energy and vibe you both brought in this conversation. Thanks so very much! 🤗💕🙏👏 Thanks OncoDaily for the fantastic platform 👏 If you have not already ordered their VERY WELL DONE book, here is the link- a.co/d/04jc3fGE @ASCO @ASCOPost @DrAmyComander @DrMTollefson @oncodaily youtu.be/x1sXSrstDyw?si…
