Brief summary: 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

Detailed description: 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 materials. OUTLINE: Participants undergo 2 tailored BBCEI sessions within 1 month. At the beginning of the first session the research nurse will present the participants with a list of common physical and social concerns. The participant will then be asked to identify 3 topics that she wants to discuss. The research nurse will discuss with the participant any relevant supportive care resources and make the appropriate referrals. At the second session the focus of the BBCEI will be on psychological and spiritual well-being.

Eligibility criteria: The population will consist of Latinas with breast cancer who have completed primary cancer treatment. A total of 10 subjects will be accrued.

* Diagnosis of Stage I, II or III.
* Self-identification as Hispanic/Latina.
