BTBT Bio

Beyond the Boobie Trap was created April of 2010 by Genae Girard. Since then it has been home to over 29,000 breast cancer survivors. It is a safe haven for survivors to exlpore treatment options, side effects as well as to determine choices. Having other women who have been there and completed treatment, allows women everywhere to reduce their fear by knowing what to expect. It is truly different to hear what it is like from someone that has had the experience verses someone that has read about it in a book. Our aim is to compile our knowledge, and to make the process a better experience for the next woman that has to go through the treatment process. Together, we can have a stronger community and know that we are not alone.

Breast Cancer Warrior,

Let me start by saying, if you are here, that probably means you have just been diagnosed with breast cancer, or you have had a recurrence.

You want to get through this in a more comfortable way.  You are probably scared and unsure of what to expect as your treatment unfolds.

You have probably been talking to your medical team and reading books as well as online information. Sometimes this however, becomes a blur. As your treatment gets closer, you are trying to make sure you have thought of everything. 

You might be asking yourself, "how does she know." Because, I am one of you. I was diagnosed in 2006 at age thirty-six with stage II breast cancer. I know I was confused and wish I would have been told what to expect by someone that had, "Been there done that".

Don’t let your lack of knowledge and what to expect overcome you with fear.  Listen to the knowledge compiled by your breast cancer sisters and learn what to expect from a group of over 29,000 breast cancer veterans. We have your back and can help you get through this.

 

Why You are Stressing Out

 

Often when we feel that we are in crisis, we go into information overload. We go out and "cram" all of the information as quickly as we can to try to arrive at the right result. This leaves us tired and forgetful.  We are so busy researching, panicked and confused that we don't leave time for ourselves.

 

               Why You Can Get Stuck

 

Many women are thrown into treatment quickly without having time to prepare mentally and physically. Too many statistics, treatment protocols and terms are thrown at you all at once. Lets face it, we are learning a whole new medical language. It can be difficult to interpret and understand.


What We All Wish We Knew

Most of us breast cancer veterans that have gone through treatment, wish we knew certain elements of it BEFORE we actually went through it. It is almost impossible for a medical professional to fill you in on everything to expect. Lets face it, the large majority of them, haven't been through it.
