Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * 18 years of age and older * Diagnosed with non-metastatic breast cancer (stages I-III) * An order placed for a post-operative chemotherapy cycle by a NM clinician * Not have initiated a recommended post-operative chemotherapy cycle at the time of study enrollment * Completed surgery for breast cancer * First-time diagnosis of breast cancer * Established care at Northwestern Medicine * English-speaking as the navigation website is not yet available in other languages * Access to internet on a smart phone or computer/tablet * Any ethnic background * We will only consider patients that sign an informed consent form Exclusion Criteria: * Men will be excluded because the navigation website only contains content and resources for women.
