The Life After The Storm Documentary
The most difficult part of the breast cancer journey begins when the medical treatment ends.Like a tornado, a breast cancer diagnosis comes into woman’s world suddenly. Swiftly and forcefully, her life is swept up, spun around and finally she is spit out – grateful to be alive, but battered, bruised and immeasurably changed. She is often expected to quickly pick up the pieces and resume life as normal. However, life as she knew it is completely different and will remain so for the rest of her life.
The film will intimately explore the lives of women under 50 who, along with their families, find themselves in the aftermath of the tornado we call breast cancer, picking through the debris, salvaging what they can, letting go of other things and rebuilding their lives. It is a story of mixed blessings, hope, strength, loss and the rediscovery of one’s self.
Yale Cancer Center is southern New England's only cancer center designated as a Comprehensive Cancer Center by the National Cancer Institute- and one of only 40 in the nation. The significance of this designation has profound implications for those who choose Yale as the place where they will be cared for and receive treatment for their cancer. National Cancer Institute cancer centers are national leaders in cancer research, prevention, detection, and treatment.
The Yale-New Haven Breast Center is a combined resource of the Yale Medical Group,
The Physicians of Yale University,
Yale-New Haven Hospital and Yale Cancer Center.
