The simple fact is people need to begin talking about and recognizing what is beyond the treatment of cancer. What is next? How does someone move on from narrowly defying death? "Part Of Me Now: Living With Breast Cancer" targets the hardship and struggles those who've gone through Breast Cancer endure beyond their treatments. The film highlights a side to cancer that has yet to be focused on - the aftermath. It centers around the personal stories of individuals who will live with cancer in their bodies or as a lingering threat for the rest of their lives. Dr. Shelby Terstriep, MD and Dr. Chery Hysjulien, PSYD of Sanford Health's Cancer Survivorship Program based in Fargo, North Dakota discuss options available to patients at every stage. The pair go in depth about services their program offers and how support can change someone's attitude and outlook. Patients, artists, and family members all contribute to the fabric of the discussion. "Part Of Me Now" dives into the aspect of cancer that is least talked about and exposes the hard truth about life post-cancer and those it can impact. The rawness and tough parts of the journey are shared throughout. This film brings to light the effect that support and encouragement from others can give someone living with the disease. It's time for the world to open their eyes and be mindful of a time when people truly need support - beyond the last treatment.
