Brief Summary

In 2017, it is estimated that 318,590 Americans, men and women, will be diagnosed with breast cancer (American Cancer Society, 13). It was predicted in the 1970s that 1 in 11 Americans would be diagnosed with breast cancer, currently, it is 1 in 8 people. A person is twice as likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer if they have one first-degree female with a diagnosis, 3-4 times if there is more than one first-degree female relative with a diagnosis. Reasons for this increase in breast cancer diagnoses are that people are living longer, changes in reproductive patterns, increases or decreases in menopausal hormone use, increased numbers of detection through screening including genetic testing, and the rising prevalence of obesity (American Cancer Society). The purpose of this study is to better understand how a diagnosis of breast cancer supports change in diet and their food story. Qualitative methodology and specifically the long interview is the method the team will use to gain insight into adult patients' perceptions of their food story.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Breast cancer patients relationship with food.

  A patient recently diagnosed with breast cancer will be more aware of the relationship they have with diet then those patients that have been in treatment for an extended period of time. The investigators will analyze the data for thick description and for themes that emerge during the analysis by following procedures developed by Corbin and Strauss.

Interventions

no intervention OTHER

There is no intervention. We are just asking breast cancer patients what their food story is.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: Up to 99 Years
• Sex: female
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Child (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Little is known about a patient and their food stories before, during and after cancer treatment. The investigators would like to understand how cancer impacts a patients food narrative. Patients that live in areas where food is less readily accessible maybe looking for ways to improve their food narrative. This population will only include any 18 or older adult with a history of breast cancer.

You may qualify if:

• Any patient that lives in Southeastern Wisconsin and has a diagnosis of breast cancer, or a history of breast cancer and is over the age of 18.

You may not qualify if:

• Any subject that is under the age of 18, that does not live in Southeastern Wisconsin and has no diagnosis of breast cancer, or a history of breast cancer will be excluded.
