All materials will be sent to participants via the US Postal Service and will need to be mailed back in the provided self-addressed stamped envelopes within 2 weeks. Participants will be asked to repeat these same assessments again in 6 months. NO lab visits will be required for participation. Women from all across the U.S. who have been diagnosed with breast cancer at any point in their lives are being sought. There is no limit on time since diagnosis or treatment status.
