Libby Bozeman is Patient of the Month for Encore Rehabilitation-Andalusia

“I was diagnosed with breast cancer 2014. Then had a reoccurrence 2024. In April of 2024, I had surgery to remove a brain tumor (breast cancer metastasis) and suffered a stroke.

“I was left with left side weakness, numbness and unable to walk.

“When I started with Encore in January, 2025, I was unable to walk much. Now things are much better! I can walk with my walker for extended lengths and my overall balance has improved! Ethan, the Occupational Therapist, has my left arm working better and I am so glad!

“I would recommend Encore because the staff at Encore are so caring! They encourage me to do things I never thought possible. They are like family!

“I enjoy the fun exercises that Riley has me do. She always adds an element of fun to the workout. When Susan works with me, we have been known to dance to Michael Jackson! 

“Thanks to Ethan, John, Katy, Hope, Susan, and Riley! I love this special group of people who have made such a difference in my life!” ~ Libby Bozeman, happy patient

Ms. Bozeman, you have done an amazing job with your rehab! Your dedication and persistence inspire us! WE are proud to select you as our Patient of the Month for Encore Rehabilitation-Andalusia! We wish you continued health and happiness!

We LOVE to see you move!

End Breast Cancer Forever!

14522774_1772521356349314_1914962047982425534_n.png

Breast Cancer has touched the lives of many women we know and love. This month, we remember and celebrate those women- their fight, their strength, and their courage. #EndBreastCancerForever #MoreThanPink 

We have put together a small article about breast cancer, warning signs, and a link to find out more about breast cancer. Join in the fight to help End Breast Cancer Forever!

“Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide and the second-most common cancer overall. In 2016, an estimated 246,660 cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in the U.S. alone. So no matter who you are or where you live, understanding breast cancer is important. But the most important thing to know is this: a diagnosis is not a death sentence. Breast cancer can be treated.

The content within the About Breast Cancer section was co-developed with Harvard Medical School faculty and Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women’s Cancer Center staff. “

Warning Signs

“The warning signs of breast cancer are not the same for all women. The most common signs are a change in the look or feel of the breast, a change in the look or feel of the nipple and nipple discharge. Learn more. ”

Other Breast Conditions

“Other conditions and benign (not cancer) changes can occur in the breast. Some increase the risk of breast cancer and others do not.

Learn about lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS).

Learn about benign breast conditions.
