Experimental: Supportive Care (BBCEI)
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.
