Abstract:
Background
Swedish patient associations for breast cancer patients (PABCPs) offer patients with breast cancer unlimited meetings with
a breast cancer survivor, a contact person (CP). We applied the voluntary action perspective in this interview study with
members of Swedish PABCPs in order to explore how women with breast cancer experienced their contact with a CP from a PABCP.
