BestTreatments Online Classes are designed to help you through your illness. They’ll answer the key questions about your condition and give you the opportunity to talk and share experiences with other patients who’ve also just been diagnosed.

The classes will help you learn about your Treatment choices and the decision you’ll face as you work with with your doctors to ensure that you get the best treatment for you. Enrolling is easy, you can take part whenever you like, and the class should take no more than two hours to complete.

Introduction by Betsy Mullen, Founder, President/CEO, WINABC

“This class is for women, like you, who have just been diagnosed with early stage breast cancer. When I was diagnosed, I remember what a challenging time this was for me. You probably feel shocked, anxious and confused, which is to be expected. You know that you will have tough decisions to make, and I know from first-hand experience that there are many questions that you need answered. The good news is, you do have treatment options and time to make well-informed treatment decisions.

“The class has been designed to guide you through this challenging time. This class has the very latest, up-to-date medical information to help you with your questions. The more that you can understand now, the better prepared you will be to work in partnership with your health care team. Together you will be able to decide on the best treatments for you.

“It will take up to two hours to complete the class but you can go online whenever you want.

“I am sure that you will enjoy the class and find it useful.

“For many of you, your physician recommended this class so that together you will be in a better position to make shared treatment decisions and manage your care.

“When I was diagnosed, I worked with my doctors to make sure that I got the best treatments, and with their help, I have not only survived , but have also thrived.

“I hope that this class will help you do the same.”
