Arm Description

Participants who have received treatment for early stage breast cancer and who experience fatigue, rated at least a 4 on a scale of 0-10 during the previous week, per patient report. Participants will complete baseline symptom questionnaires, then complete an internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy program (PROSPECT) for 8 weeks, then repeat questionnaires.

Participants who have received treatment for early stage breast cancer and who experience pain, rated at least a 4 on a scale of 0-10 during the previous week, per patient report. Participants will complete baseline symptom questionnaires, then complete an internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy program (PROSPECT) for 8 weeks, then repeat questionnaires.

Participants who have received treatment for early stage breast cancer and who experience insomnia, assessed as difficulty sleeping over the last week, yes or no, per patient report. Participants will complete baseline symptom questionnaires, then complete an internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy program (PROSPECT) for 8 weeks, then repeat questionnaires.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Improvement in patient-reported symptom with use of PROSPECT for 8 weeks
To obtain preliminary data about the efficacy of the intervention in this patient population. The investigators will assess change in the participant's primary reported symptom (pain, insomnia, or fatigue) with 8 weeks of the intervention.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Acceptability of the PROSPECT intervention based on patient self-report
To obtain preliminary data about the acceptability and usability of the intervention in this patient population.

Brief Summary
In order to determine the acceptability of a breast cancer-specific cognitive behavioral therapy intervention, as well as to obtain preliminary data to assess efficacy in managing symptoms, the investigators will ask 45 breast cancer survivors with moderate insomnia, fatigue, and/or pain to use the investigators' internet-based intervention for 8 weeks and to complete patient-reported outcomes assessments before and after the 8 week intervention.
