Breast Cancer Support During COVID-19

To protect the health and safety of our members, we have only held virtual BAYS-sponsored events since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. These include virtual support groups, writing retreats, book clubs, and fun events such as ‘80s Music Bingo. Our events remained virtual through 2021, and we will begin limited in-person events with full safety precautions (vaccines required at all events, masks and social distancing required indoors, social distancing required outdoors) in 2022. These safety precautions are to protect our community, many of whom are immunocompromised due to treatment.

When in-person events are possible…

BAYS offers monthly support group meetings with free childcare and community-building events, including hikes, picnics, and more. Events offer support for young breast cancer patients during diagnosis, chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, and beyond.

Events have also included educational events on reiki and healing touch therapy, medical marijuana, lymphedema, and physical intimacy after cancer. BAYS also offers a special support group called Mets in the City (MITC) for young people with metastatic breast cancer.

Member-Initiated Events

We encourage our young breast cancer community to initiate events. When in-person events resume, we will offer financial support for those events because we understand how isolating breast cancer diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship can be.
