Moving On Study - Pilot Test

The investigators hypothesize that MOVE-ABC is a critical missing link in the standard of care to reduce impairments and improve confidence to manage impairments. The research team is positioned to pilot test MOVE-ABC to address (a) self- management of breast cancer-related impairments via patient-centered booklet and video each impairment identified by our breast cancer survivors; (b) instruction on self-management of impairments with the "Moving On" booklet and video (Attachment 4.1); and (c) weekly follow-up (up to 1 month after the end of breast cancer treatment) to answer questions, concerns and review "Moving On". This research also supports a small but growing number of studies that point to self-management interventions informed by rehabilitation as a means to fill this gap in usual care. The investigator has already piloted the "Moving On" intervention among surgical candidates for breast cancer surgery. The question remains whether "Moving On" is acceptable and feasible for breast cancer survivors who have already completed their breast cancer treatment and are just beginning to execute their breast cancer survivorship plans.
