Camp Breastie 2026

What does it mean to navigate cancer, survivorship, or high risk while also existing as a member of an underrepresented or marginalized community?

For many Breasties, concerns around healthcare access, safety, visibility, belonging, and uncertainty can feel especially heavy right now. This panel creates space to name those realities with honesty and care — without losing sight of hope.

Together, panelists will explore how identity shapes experiences in healthcare, what it means to care for yourself and your community during difficult moments, and how we continue to move forward while holding fear, resilience, joy, and hope all at once.

Through anonymous audience participation, reflections, and shared experiences, this session invites everyone into the conversation — creating space to feel seen, release what feels heavy, and remember that no one has to navigate this alone.

When cancer enters your life—whether in the form of a diagnosis or an elevated risk—one thing becomes abundantly clear: You don't know what you don't know, until you need it most. 

This empowering panel brings together top voices in medical oncology, cancer imaging, genetics, surgery, and research to help you cut through the noise.

By highlighting the latest developments in cancer screening, risk reduction, and treatment, and providing actionable advice for making sure your voice is heard, you will walk away from this panel feeling confident in your ability to advocate for the best care possible—whatever that means to you.
