Survivorship

What is Survivorship?  At BCNA, we define Survivorship as being about all aspects of a woman's life that may be affected by a diagnosis and treatment for breast cancer. Survivorship research is any research that focuses on these issues, including research about the health care system and services that provide support and care to women with breast cancer.
