The Year After: a letter every week, after surgery.
The Year After is Babette's guide to the months after breast cancer surgery. It arrives in your inbox once a week, on the week it's useful, and it's written for the surgery you had.
What will members get?
- A weekly letter that starts from your surgery date and tells you what's ahead, in plain English.
- Members-only deep dives on the questions that take more than one article to answer.
- Printable guides you can bring to appointments or stick on the fridge.
- Live Q&As and seats at the Babette Supper Club.
What stays free?
Everything that's free on withbabette.com stays free, including the articles, the glossary, the checklists and the quiz. Safety information is never behind a paywall, and paid pieces meet the same editorial standards as free ones.
What will it cost?
$99 a year
You can also give it as a gift. It's a good one for someone who has surgery coming up, or who just got home.
Can you give a year to someone who can’t afford it?
Yes. With Give a Year, the same $99 gives The Year After to a woman who couldn’t otherwise pay for it. Name someone you know, or leave it with us and we’ll find a woman who needs it.
The questions women ask after surgery are the same whether they’re treated at a top cancer center or a free clinic. Giving a year makes sure the answers reach both.
When does it open?
Leave your email below and we'll write to you the day it opens, whether you want a year for yourself or one to give.
Free. We never sell or share your email.
The Year After is education, not medical care. Your surgeon and care team know your case, and these letters are meant to help you ask them better questions.
