This clinical trial studies a supportive education program for Latina breast cancer
survivors. The Bilingual Breast Cancer Education Intervention (BBCEI) may help Latina breast
cancer survivors know what to expect after completing breast cancer treatment and prepare
them to cope with cancer related survivorship issues


PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Describe the feasibility of implementing the BBCEI. II. Describe the
cultural and linguistic appropriateness of the BBCEI. III. Determine topics requiring
further emphasis in the BBCEI. IV. Identify ways to enhance program content, format, and
