The BAY AREA YOUNG SURVIVORS Issue, Feb / Mar 2021, Vol 6, No 1, 95 pages
For the first time ever, we are focusing all the pages in a single issue on women living in a shared geographic location. This issue spotlights the young women diagnosed with breast cancer in California’s beautiful San Francisco Bay Area, specifically the members of a dynamic hyperlocal group called BAYS-MITC (Bay Area Young Survivors & Mets in the City). Instead of centering our issue on one specific survivorship theme as we usually do, this issue includes a variety of topics. We simply asked writers to submit stories spotlighting what makes their experience of breast cancer unique to them.
