Called Moving Forward Together 2 (http://www.cancer.org/InYourArea/NewEngland/ProgramsandServices/moving-forward-together-2), the study pairs American Cancer Society Reach To Recovery (http://www.cancer.org/Treatment/SupportProgramsServices/reach-to-recovery) volunteers with current breast cancer patients in a 12-week telephone-based counseling program that promotes exercise. Reach To Recovery volunteers are breast cancer survivors who are specially-trained to provide emotional support and guidance to newly diagnosed breast cancer patients. This program adds exercise motivation to the equation.
